The Meme of Hating Crystal Castles

An interesting discussion is burning on in the comments section of our dearest friend, ye Vegan of Brooklyn's recent post about Crystal Castles's Dallas blow-up (which may have been the club's fault, to be fair). The readers wonder: Can hating on Crystal Castles be a meme? Well, for starters, no, not really. At least not yet. Their first dose of controversy came to be when they stole a black-eyed Madonna image and used it for their tour shirts. Sure, artists can h8 them for that. But they settled OOI (out of internet).
Now, another Madonna controversy is back in the news after last night, a Dallas, Texas club manager called them a bunch of pre-madonna assholes [sic motherfucker? it's prima donna, unless he meant pre-you're-no-pop-star-yet, in which case, clever.]. So i guess that's an unusual happenstance that can get people all "fuck crystal castles" lately.
If the entire Hipster Runoff (HRO so-forth) set took to Flickr to start up an "I H8 CC" photoset then yea, we're getting there. Coupled with a few remixes about CC being douchnozzles and a YouTube post with their worst freakouts then yes, that there is a "Hating Crystal Castles Meme." But sadly, we're not there yet. If you do truly think the Electro-canadiens of the Crystal Castle are deserving of their own h8 h8 h8 meme then we say shit, go for it.
Also worth noting is the fact that one commenter thought the word "meme" was a dingleberry spouted out by Carles, but he was then promptly corrected by Mr. 4:21. Hurrah for self-policing.
In related news, BV reminds us that Crystal Castles are playing All Points West this summer. So, get your meme pants on and we'll see you there, h8rs.
