Jack White Coins New Phrase: "Reverse-Contrarian Hipsters"

White Stripes guitarist Jack White coined a new catchphrase we think everyone needs to start using when he came to the defense of the band's critically-panned drummer Meg White in a recent interview with the New York Post.

"Her feminity and extreme minimalism are too much to take for some metalheads and reverse-contrarian hipsters," Jack White said.

"She can do what those with 'technical prowess' can't. She inspires people to bash on pots and pans. For that, they repay her with gossip and judgment."

As one CHARTattack staffer pointed out, not since Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst reintroduced the word "agreeance" to the world at the 2003 Grammys has a pop star bequeathed the world with such a gift.

Though we're still trying to figure out what exactly a reverse contrarian hipster is — maybe MGMT? — we're pretty sure this is yet another sign that the v-neck t-shirt and American Apparel tights crowd is about to jump the cultural relevance shark.

The White Stripes released Under Great White Northern Lights, a box set documenting their 2007 cross-Canada tour, on Tuesday (March 16).
