What is Indie?
eknox:
I would ask who Hüsker Dü where but someone would slap me (and yes i have looked it up on Wikipedia :angel:)
Ballard:
Ok, that doesn't make sense. The Wikipedia article on Hüsker Dü is pretty informative.

Oh man, you have my sympathy.
Think of the bands you hear on Triple J about a year before the commercial stations pick them up. Think of the videos you pretty much only see on Rage and not the Saturday morning chart shows. Think of the kind of stuff you'll find in little music stores and places like Fish and JB and not in Virgin Music, HMV and such. Chances are that is what a lot of people regard as indie stuff. That is not really a definite definition and I am sure a lot of people would disagree with me, but from what I've seen it really is pretty broad.
Ballard:
Actually, Virgin has been trying far too hard lately to appeal to the indie audience. Every time I walk in there, Ted Leo and The New Pornographers are up front by the entrance for everyone to see.

forgotten corner of Australia. A heavy part of our 'Indie' culture(s) is based on over-simplifications from the US.
Don't worry, it's even more blurred for us than our distant neighbors from the North. If you're trying to get indie cred and finding parameters to fill with your faux-awesomeness, get over yourself and listen to stuff you like. But your probably not doing that cause that would be totally uncool, right?
