Have no idea what's hipster or indie about either; though both are terms that are tossed around so liberally as to be practically meaningless now. Kayo Dot is only nominally metal anyway, and then only on their first and last albums. Up until Crack the Skye Mastodon just seemed pretty old-fashioned metal with modern hardcore/death vocals. Crack was more prog, then it was back to more old-school stuff.

He may have been trying but I didn't take it as very inflammatory, partly because I like a lot of what's called "indie rock" anyway and don't give a hoot whether something is labeled "hipster" or not; I'm just curious as to how he arrived at that comparison with those bands in particular.

Try the Russians, esp. Stravinski and Moussorgski. They were very experimental, and turned out some surprising - and surprisingly-enjoyable - music.

I instinctively love most classical music. Some of my favorite composers where I actually know some of their works are Bach, Paganini, Chopin, Debussy, Schubert, Handel, Vivaldi, Brahms, and of course Beethoven and Mozart.
Theres a lot of classical pieces I love where Im not sure who the composer is. Like often Ill be watching a movie and the soundtrack will have some classical pieces I love but I wont be able to tell you who it is half the time.
I really should get more familiar with classical music. Ive been kind of stagnant on my music listening for awhile now anyways, I play music more than I listen to it these days. Perhaps exploring classical more will reawaken my passion for listening to music.
To the OP, as long as youre not one of those knobs who has an aversion to guitar music Id recommend checking out some of the great classical guitar composers like Fernando Sor, Agustin Barrios, and Francisco Tárrega.
