Wysiwyg:

--- Quote from: 3Z3VH ---Wait, I thought the whole point of being indie is that you listen to what you enjoy listening to... not "what every other indie kid listens to"... Am I wrong ?(...)

So the ultimate indie person is the one who makes bands up, since it´s the only way so nobody knows it! C´mon, is not that contradictory because there are some bands considered obscure by most people but that are well known by people who search for them - like Spoon and Arcade Fire. Hm, maybe if i change "indie" to "alternative"...

And church...


--- Quote from: church ---
S.American indie kids know a lot more about the british scene than N.American kids do.(...)

That´s very interesting, because i do know more about british than the american scene. Did you had many contacts with people from South America?

Anyway... what was this thread all about?

BrittanyMarie:
This thread amuses me and I LIKE IT!

Elbow
Guided by Voices
Spoon
Clinic
Lambchop
Elliott Smith
Beat Happening
Camper Van Beethoven
Jeff Buckley
Fugazi
Neutral Milk Hotel
Wilco
You guys sho have hit a lot though, VU, J&MC, My Bloody Valentine, Sonic Youth, Pixies, Pavement, Modest Mouse

Though most hipsters I know are big into labels... so the major indie labels like Matador, K, and Subpop are all really well-known.

church:
Wysiwyg - Yes. Mainly from my brit pop days.


I'm going to have to add Hanson as a popular indie band.

MetaPop:
Zak is teh buff!

Disko:
Just from an English point of view:


Radiohead
Oasis
Pixies
Grandaddy
Flaming Lips
Eels
Blur
Supergrass
Elastica
Mercury Rev
Super Furry Animals

By the way... someone put Elbow before, they are godlike(I'm just being all pro-manchester) put I wouldn't expect everyone to know about them.

There's probably a few bands I've missed too, I'd list Pavement, but it's more of a US thing than from "round these parts."
