What band? Do you mean 'The Band' because if you do they were about as far from being hipsters as a band can be and still fall into the 'popular music' catagory.
Robbie Robertson is a POS and stole the rights to most of The Bands music, with the help of that other POS, Albert Grossman.

Levon Helm is one of the coolest guys on the planet. He came to campus a couple years ago to talk about his roots music project and told a story (yeah, I know, Bro) about being a kid and having to take the battery out of his dad's tractor in order to hook it up to the radio so he could listen to the Grand Ole Opry. That's about as shiat-kicking as it gets.
The fact that he rarely speaks ill of Robertson shows he has the patience of a saint. Plus a lot of class.
/Music from Big Pink should be in everyone's collection

I just started getting into the Band this year after I heard Electric Dirt, which is by far one of my favorite albums in a long time. I read quite a bit on the history of the Band, and came to the conclusion that Levon's a pretty classy dude and Robbie's a dick. And I've never quite figured out why Robbie is at the Rock and Roll HOF ceremony every year.

If we're going by the fark definition of hipster, then they fall into this category. The Doors, Zeppelin, Hendrix, Dylan, Lennon, and Carrot Top do as well.
Bands like KOL, Arcade fire, Decemberists, and Conor Oberst are called Hipster douchebags for doing the exact same thing these guys were doing back in the day. They're called talentless because they write songs about getting farked up and getting pussy. I guess it was okay for Kiss, GnR, and the beatles to write about that stuff because they were "artist".
This fark cliche of "Things were better when I was younger" makes me wanna punch a baby.
