Hipsters (in this context, anywho) are people who are trying to keep up with all the latest trends and styles and hate the idea of being “mainstream.” Their quests to be hip take them to weird places: witness the resurgence of the cassette, a musical format that died a natural death in the early 1990s but is making a comeback due to nostalgia (nostalgia that Josh probably feels the pangs of, if he’s honest with himself).
Cassettes had their pros and cons; they were notorious for getting caught in the machine and subsequently destroyed, but their fidelity wasn’t bad, and they’ll go down in history for being the first portable form of music, when played in a Sony Walkman.

A reference to the Roland 808 drum machine, one of those rare musical instruments that has transcended its status to inspire entire styles and forms of music. Kanye West, for example, used the machine all but exclusively on the album he named for it, 2008’s 808s & Heartbreak.

“Drop the bass” is a standard-issue ad-lib in dubstep music, and a pretty satisfying one at that. Skrillex in particular uses it to great effect.

This is a reference to the British “arena folk” band, Mumford & Sons, known for incredibly high-energy live shows, and for utilizing huge singalong choruses in their singles.
Of all the bands that Ramsay takes a jab at in “Pop 101,” Mumford are the most similar to Marianas Trench’s sound. It’s possible that this (like all the references in the song) is more of a friendly nod than a real dis.
The video for the song “I Will Wait,” referenced by Josh in the lyrics, is below. Check out the huge crowd, from a 2012 gig at Red Rocks.

Slated for a November release, Broly isn’t cheap. This figure was a convention exclusive in Japan, and stateside distributor Bluefin is selling them for $67.99 on this side of the Pacific. That said, this is a truly badass character and the figure lives up. A full two inches taller than any other Bandai DBZ figure, and featuring more articulation points than usual, too, this legendary Super Saiyan is sure to stand tall as part of any collection.

Rick Grimes, the protagonist of the comic book and TV series, has been given more than his fair share of action figure renderings. This initial offering from McFarlane is a beautiful piece that includes five removable shotguns tucked away in a bag.
There have been no fewer than three variants of this figure, including blood splatter Rick Grimes, B&W Rick Grimes, and… believe it or not… B&W blood splatter Rick Grimes! All of them have become quite collectable following the show’s meteoric rise to popularity, and start for around $80-$90 on eBay.

The first deluxe box set for the line, and also the first vehicle, this faithful rendering of fan favourite character Daryl and his trusty ride was actually created from a full body scan of actor Norman Reedus (the second Daryl figure to be made in this way, following the Series 4 Daryl). The set also includes his crossbow and retails for around $40.
The detail is really astonishing… right down to the lightning bolts and skulls on the bike. Mad props!
