I work part time at J Crew (AN AMAZING CLOTHING STORE), and like most stores we have music playing. Yeah it's the holidays now so the mix included Little Saint Nick and surprisingly Merry Christmas Baby. The music that's usually played is of the more hip bands of the day and the past I guess. Bands like Shout Out Louds, of Montreal, the Drums, Josh Rouse, the Smiths and even the Stone Roses get some play. So while I wasn't TOO surprised to hear the beach boys, i was a bit surprised to hear "sail on sailor" and "i'm waiting for the day" to play.
I thought that was really cool, and i enjoyed hearing the boys against the other bands on the mix.

At one of the coffee shops near me, they played the entire Pet Sounds album...that's pretty rare in my neck of the woods.

Could you ask execs at J. Crew to lower their ridiculous prices? Thanks.
Just kidding. Yes, very cool to hear ANY Beach Boys over the speakers in a store, let alone the rarer stuff.

J Crew playing the Beach Boys doesn't seem to signal hipness, but it certainly seems to signal the trendies possibly getting into the Beach Boys, which is quite regrettable.

Regrettable? Why?
The more people listening to the Beach Boys, the better.

Exactly.
Of course, if the Beach Boys were finally accepted on the level the Beatles are by the mass public, there'd be a small segment of fans who would suddenly STOP liking the BB because of that. Which is nuts, but seemingly every group has a certain percentage of so-called fans like that.

Let me put it to you this way...
Scene kids with emoliner, emopolish, emostick, and emoblades with crusty blood on them listening to Pet Sounds. I rest my case.
And besides, half of the Gen-Xers who know the BBs think John Stamos is a member. Once the modern-day emo crowd gets ahold of the BBs, sales of Stamos posters will rise, as will ratings of Full House reruns.

It's all relative.
If
they did all listen to
Pet Sounds
they'd probably laugh at the idea of a bunch of Middle-Aged men and women listening to it (not that I'm Middle-Aged, but from what I gather from this forum, a lot are)...As it
is
an album about teenage-angst (according to some critics).

It only figures that the hip sector would be into music, given the way the more modern indie bands like Animal Collective constantly praise The Beach Boys and subsequently
rip them off
incorporate elements of The Beach Boys into their music.

I'm 26, back in the day (about 6 years ago), my friends were into the emo scene, as I went to their 'shows' for their bands, I just went as a supporter of my friends. I tried telling people that came through about how good the Beach Boys were. some of them listened to me.
One time, before a show, during the setup; I had the sound guy play the 'How to Speak Hip' album.
threw a lot of kids through a loop.

My point is that you can negatively stereotype any group of people, but stereotyping just shows a lack of understanding. Now, you're going to say, "but you just called a bunch of people uncultured, Dada!" Right, I did, didn't I? But I gave well-thought-out, nuanced reasons for why some people are uncultured. You just used some disparaging slang phrases and called it a day.
Now, if these emo kids in question refused to appreciate Smiley Smile and 15 Big Ones after you played the albums for them, then maybe you'd have a case for dismissing them so brusquely.

...is the right answer. Hip = nonsense. Hip = the junkyard of tomorrow. The music of our Boys is timeless. Age has no effect on it. The intro of California girls could have been thought up and recorded yesterday, as could the coda of Surf's Up.

While I get where you are coming from Don, I must respectfully disagree. The California Girls intro or Surf's Up coda couldn't have been thought up yesterday because nobodies making music even close to that level anymore.

I've been hearing The Beach Boys everywhere lately...
Their even playing mash up's of California Girls with the Katy Perry track in clubs now...
Brian's falsetto sounds awesome in a club when you're drunk by the way

Ha ha - I have to take exception to this. I think Animal Collective are one of the few bands that actually takes the Beach Boys legacy and builds upon it, creating new music that is forward looking, not pastiche. For evidence of this, look at how many bands are now ripping AC off, especially since Merriweather Post pavillion. My patience for BB soundalikes has really worn thin over the last few years but I do find AC are much more than rip off artists.
