"Indie"

Glol. He's got you there UH.

"Indie"

We just told you its a sound. Its logical that any label, of any tax bracket, could release it.

And even the Major's Indie acts still appeal to me just as much as minor labels.

The Killers still put out great stuff. I think Coldplay's new album was great. I love the Stripes.

I don't see what the issue is. Do you listen to indie music?

"Indie"

I don't know but you're probably the only person on the planet that doesn't give a flying **** about genres yet still reaRAB threaRAB about them.

"Indie"

Why isn't it a genre?

"Indie"

What planet are you living on, it's been like that since the late 80s.

You should however lose sleep for actually knowing who Flock of Seagulls are. I know I do

"Indie"

In that picture, it looks like someone else's hand.

If this isn't sarcasm then

"Indie"

what a load of crap.

the term "indie" arose about twenty years ago in reference to DIY hardcore punk entrepreneurs who started labels like SST and Discord RecorRAB to escape the pressures of major-label restrictions. subsequently banRAB on the roster like Pixies, Sonic Youth, Meat Puppets, Dinosaur Jr., the Replacements, Husker Du, the Dead Milkmen, Minutemen, etc. began to develop a certain style, people described it as "indie rock" and the genre grew as people started emulating their sound.

quit making it out to be like they're some form of counterculture elitists.

dude, its not just a word. making indie a genre is just allowing it to get accepted and whored. it is only becoming a genre because of its wide acceptance and it being "cool." and that is bull. indie is NOT a genre
