Fun Stuff > BAND
New to the Indie scene. Music Suggestions?

Basically:
A) Most of the music out there is shit. We all disagree on what is and isn't good. However, there are a lot of bands in the scene that suck that everyone likes because they're indie idols. But, sorry, nope, they suck. Just because someone says they're awesome doesn't mean you should believe them.
B) We're all pretentious twats. Don't believe a thing we say.
C) The indie scene is pretty lame. Head nodding does not a fun concert make.
D) Listen to At the Drive-In. They are the motherfucking bomb.

That's the sort of statement that would crash a computer's hard drive.
saturnine1979:
ever been to an Of Montreal show?
Arcade Fire?
There's no head nodding. At least not from the people who actually give a shit about the music.
I saw tons of "scenesters" there standing around talking and looking bored, but I was definitely front and center with all the other music lovers, taking in the energy from the band and getting down with everyone else.
sp2:
I've seen Arcade Fire, and yeah, sure, there are a few folks in the front getting innto the music, but goddamn, there are waaaaay too many scenesters. It may be a Boulder thing, I dunno, but the scenester thing is a pain in the ass. There have been plenty of post-hardcore shows I've seen lately that were filled with fucking scenesters that did nothign but sit there when the band had plenty of energy and some folks (i.e. me and my friends) were trying to get down to the music. Part of me wants to just slam into the stupid hipsters but another part of me realizes that it will probably result in them getting hurt, because, you know, they're waaaaay too fucking thin.
I hate scenesters.
