Twee as Fuck - Pitchfork's history of indie pop
Not An Addict:
--- Quote from: Moiche --- A pretty useful list of indie-pop inspirations with an ass-load of words in between, that somehow managed not to draw links from the inspirations to modern acts like Deerhoof, AiH, the Sugarplastics. So . . . what was the point?

The point is that Pitchfork like hearing themselves talk.

Bunnyman:
I'm still trying to get my head wrapped around the concept of "indie pop." I mean, if, as MC Frontalot so eloquently states, you must be "somewhere in between unpopular and hated (or else get excommunicated)" in order to be indie, becoming indie-pop is the simultaneous state of being two mutually exclusive concepts, therefore negating existence. To be truly indie pop, one must not only be unpopular, but also popular and noncorporeal.
I'm sure Gene Ray has something to add to this topic.
RUMBLEMOOSE:
It's pop-as-marketing-style vs. pop-as-music-style, round 1:
Britney Spears (marketing style)
vs.
Tiger Trap (music style)
They're like two different schools of kung fu except one school SUCKS.
