Strangely enough, even though I'm quite happy to admit I don't know the first thing about indie right now, I've been finding I've been getting really annoyed at people who keep flaunting The Killers as a sign of their affinity for indie. I mean, hell, I liked the album, but I'm very aware they're not exactly part of the indie scene.
muffy:
I'd call the Killers indie.
I'd also call them a Shed 7 tribute band with synths and 2 good tunes to their name, but that's just my personal frustration at having heard Mr Fucking Brightside one too many times.
But they headlined a huge NME tour, which is a benchmark of indie schmindie behaviour...
bainidhe_dub:
i call The Killers.. shit i'd never heard of til i got to college and then my roommate played it nonstop for three months. god damn that Somebody Told Me thing got old. real quick.
and the rest of the people in me whole building are the same. they're all radio-indie kids, with a strong dose of Stuff Our Parents Listened To As Teenagers thrown in. so the brilliant idea of the itunes sharing network is generally completely useless in bel air. [/rant]
a pack of wolves:
I too have Killers-loving flatmates, and their songs do burrow in like annoying little weevils. And there's that one that keeps going on about 'indie rock and roll', which always makes me give an aloof 'you know you're just a pop band really' glance at the stereo.
EhSteve:
I have an Aiwa.
