(Gibson) Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill said that he's happy to take success over being considered hip by the press and fans.

"I hate [expletive] hipsters," the guitarist/singer told RollingStone.com. "Everyone talks about indie this and indie that, but would you really want to be one of those indie bands that makes two albums and disappears? That's just sad."

His Nashville-based band certainly have made more than two albums. Kings of Leon's fifth studio album, Come Around Sundown, was released on Tuesday. According to Followill, longevity was always part of the plan. "When we signed on with our manager, we all said we wanted to have a box-set career," he said. "We'll gladly be the next generation of bands that aren't going anywhere." -
