Why is this on HN? Is this site no longer moderated?

You mean your comment? Yeah, it's gotten bad like that.

If you mean the article, it's on HN because HN is a social bookmarking site, and it was upvoted.

"Social bookmarking" has come to mean "hipster fetishism".

This site has been turning to shit for a while.

Or maybe it's not about intellectually lazy media-created categories like "hipsters", but more about sincere interest in an artist whose career spans 4+ decades -- far beyond when "hipster" was even a thing in the modern (not the Norman Mailer 50s) sense.

Someone got triggered.

If by that you mean "responded with an argument to a vague and contentless accusation", then yes.

Is there a more childish response to an argument than "ha! it got to you"?

(Not to mention that age-wise I'm far off from the "hipster" demographic, and was watching Bill Murray way before hipster was even a term. Not everybody is 20-something on the internet).
