He was making a joke, indie+endowment=Indowment.

That totally went over my head. I usually see people posting something like that, you know, with parenthesis and another spelling of the word, followed by a question mark, as a "I don't know how to spell this, do you know? type of thing.
Now that you've explained it, I think it's pretty funny, but it makes me feel dumb for not getting it when first presented. :\

Hey Spinless I did get your PM thank you and sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I think I agree with what you said, it’s a tricky topic but your observations certainly seem to make sense.
Thanks everyone for the posts they’ve been really helpful in my research for this paper.
If anyone is interested one of the best books I’ve found on the subject is “Sexing the Groove” edited by Sheila Whiteley specifically the article “Sizing Up Record Collections: Gender and Connoisseurship in rock music culture” by Will Straw.

Indie Elitism kicks ass, that's why I do it!

I got accused of indie elitism for saying Pavement was better than Death Cab For Cutie (don't ask me how that comparison came up; it was pretty ridiculous), because the person said I obviously just liked them because they're obscure. Man, what the hell?
And yeah, Indie elitism is pretty uncool. I'll often make fun of music jokingly, including music I listen to myself, citing actual reasons for making fun of it, but it's just in fun. People like what they like.

Which is obscure? Pavement or Death Cab? Both are shit, neither are obscure. BAM. THERE'S YOUR EMERIL-ISM
