I was certain you were talking about Sting's Police. It took me a second to connect the dots and say, "Oh, he's talking about an N.W.A. song! I get it!"

Dara:
check out Stars, Feist, and Valley of the Giants. they all contain members of Broken Social Scene, and are on the same record label. a good branching out, if i say so myself.

Coonstar:
The concept of scenester boggles my mind.

Do such beasts really exist? I don't believe I've ever seen one! Or maybe I just turn a blind eye to them, or something.

Not all people who aren't very energetic/lively seeming are scenesters. I have a friend who is awesomecore, and she has awesome music taste and definitely spends a lot of her time looking for new music and you know, just enjoying it, but she's a total statue at a show. She just stands there, and nods her head. She doesn't care about people's opinions of her, she's not at the shows to be "cool" or whatever, she just simply enjoys the stuff but is rather very boring about it! She's not a scenester at all.

And advice for who's new to the indie "scene" and all, I think things are just pretty simple. Just keep looking for music whatever it is, and not let people's opinions get to your head. If you end up liking any band, no matter what kind of band it is, for whatever reason, then that's awesomecore. I don't think one should care about how credible or deep a band is as long as you simply *enjoy* them.

Don't shy away from checking out the "big" indie bands either, because- just because they already have a large established fanbase doesn't mean that they need less support or anything.

Switchblade:
the word "Indie" JFYI, is derivative of "independent"... meaning that it's supposedly divorced from the more commercial end of music (Read: MTV).

I like to believe that it also means you should completely ignore what other people think and do your own thing. Nothing is more indie than liking the bands and music you like, regardless of wether other people like them or hate them.

Oh, and if anybody WAS offended by the word "Scene"... don't be so fucking over-sensitive. :p
