Fun Stuff > BAND
New to the Indie scene. Music Suggestions?
Valrus:
--- Quote from: The Mighty Mopdecai ---If they are a scenester then they won't dance if they reall enjoy the music and they nod their head a smile (i.e look like there having a good time) then they are good ask who there favourite band is.

Or they could just be a person who doesn't really like to dance, either because they feel self-conscious or because they feel like dancing consumes brain cells that could be used for listening.
I'm just saying. Not dancing at a concert doesn't necessarily mean you're trying to be a wet blanket or a pretentious prick.
JLM:
--- Quote from: sp2 ---Basically, "indie" is the most pretentious term ever. You can pretty much apply it to any genre. By adding the adjective "indie" to any genre, you pretty much say "this genre, but more pretentious."
So.
Indie rock - rock, but more pretentious
Indie pop - pop music, but more pretentious
Indie hip-hop - hip-hop music, but more pretentious
Indie prog - holyshit pretention feedback loop
--- End quote ---
I don't think I've ever heard someone say "indie hip-hop." Most people I've met either say "underground" or "independent" (but only in reference to the label). Pretentious hip-hop, on the other hand, usually comes from Anticon.
KharBevNor:
Any decent metal band would stab themselves in the eyes with their own hip bones before using the term indie to describe their music.
Even if their album was an audial interpretation of Ted Hughes anthology 'Crow' utilising the textures of minimalist second wave black metal, neomedieval folk music and ambient industrial*, and was distributed in a limited edition of 616 on hand-numbered cassette and CD-R by the bands own label run out of their bassists garage.
*Someone please do this.
dessa:
well both genres are really part of the alternative music area, and in some of the "Lesser" prog bands it can really sound a fair bit like an indie band.
a funny joke, i had some stupid emo try to tell me the other day that at the drive in was emo...
McTaggart:
Me: ...Flaming Lips... (I'm not sure what the context was)
This dude: Who are they? Some emo band?
Me: No... Just no.
