It's kind of funny to describe the band as a bunch of hipsters considering they've essentially done the same thing for 20+ years (maybe longer but I don't have personal experience) and the idea of a "hipster" is a fairly recent development.

The LSJUMB has existed in its current, mostly student-run form since 1963.  Their history of annoying the opponents and pushing beyond the boundaries of good taste goes way back.

The Leland Stanford Junior University Marching Band has problems with its hate mail. "There isn't enough," said manager Rich Johnson. "We like to keep a large inventory of hate mail around all the time. Except for the death of Mao show at the San Jose State game last year, nothing got a really healthy response. That bothers us."
