Pocket Hipster App Makes Fun Of You & Your Music

/ By Bruce Houghton / in Music Business/ No comment

The developers at The EchoNest and the creatives behind We Are Hunted have created a new app for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad that features a snarky animated virtual hipster who listens to your personal music collection, insults your taste, and then plays buzzed-about tracks that match your musical preferences. The "Pocket Hipster" goal is to re-create having a tastemaker friend who always seems to recommend the artists that become your next favorites. The two companies have more collaborations planned.
