Quote from: Oerdin

Start with Jeph's recommended listening list and listen to some Indie Pop Rocks on SOMA.  Get a feel for things and see if you like it.


thanks for that recommendation, it seems pretty good so far.

Anyway, why do these kids want so desperately to be indie when they probably haven't experienced anything else music has to offer?

Could it be that they're shallow trend whores who simply want to be cool?

zomg.

Could it be that they don't feel like beating their brains with the dark Scandinavian tones of whatever is currently fashionable in the metal scene, and would rather listen to some tunes that they can enjoy and rock out to without risking the loss of teeth in a mosh?

Surely not. :)

Could it be that...what...I...I...listen to things that aren't scandinavian metal?

NO!

Could it be that I value a diverse and...NO...not an interesting musical taste? Why on earth should a musical taste be interesting? I mean, good grief no, one should definitely, without a shadow of a doubt, stick to the pitchfork flavour of the month, and never explore things like, say folk, world, drone, metal, dance, rap, punk, jazz, prog, classic rock, country, industrial, classical and all those other niggling little genres! I mean, were people to shop around the almost infinitely variegated entirety of music there's a possibility they might find that they don't really like The Flaming Lips that much, but instead prefer, I dunno, Django Reinhardt, or Cypress Hill, or Throbbing Gristle, or Stiff Little Fingers or....GODS! They could like almost anything! BUT NO-ONE WOULD THINK THEIR MUSICAL TASTE WAS COOL AT ALL AND THEY WOULDN'T GET TO GO TO THE GOOD SHOWS AND NOD THEIR HEADS!!!!


TRAGEDY AND CALAMITY.

Could it be that I WAS TAKING THE PISS??

NO! SURELY NOT!

:)

Edit: Cypress Hill FTW. Well, Black Sunday and Temple of Boom, anyway.

People coming to the forumz of an indie-music themed webcomic to ask about . . . INDIE MUSIC?!

IT MAKES NO SENSE!  THE HUMANITY!

Hey, you now what is even more irritating than shallow trend whores?  Music snobs whose self-esteem is so eroded they need to take down forum newbies!  Those dudes need to chillax.

Good thing there are none of these here.  :)

Khar and I had this argument when I first got on here. You should know that I lost. In fact, I admitted I lost at the time. :P

I am already chilled. My blood is so cold I have a court order banning me from going near liquid metal terminators.

i think you guys should remember one rule... most people are sheep!!!, if we were to tell them that high pitched wav files were super indy then they would probably follow, well at least till their ear drums burst into rifles of blood.
No offence intended mates, but there is more to music then a scene, like you know the music itself.
on another topic, i need some uptempo jazzy stuff for my girlfriend, she loves jazz but doesn't know any artists that perform that kinda stuff, and we live a fair way out of a city so there are no local jazz clubs, and i don't really know any either... anything that has caught your ears?

I wouldn't dream of arguing with Khar - his faith and steadfastness in the face of adversity shames me. I was merely lampooning, in the gentlest possible way, like his mother might. If she was Australian and tired. :)
