techno/electronic indie?

<< < (5/5)

Kid Modernist:

--- Quote from: Wikipedia ---Such usages of "indie" may be considered inaccurate for various reasons: for one, stylistic qualities are often not accurately correlated to commercial independence or adherence to indie principles (this is particularly true when a sound becomes popular, its leading exponents are signed by major labels and more success-oriented bands and production teams attempt to imitate the style; this ultimately culminates in commercially driven artists sporting the same stylistic traits the "indie" artists of a year ago had). Secondly, however pervasive any style of music (even one as broadly defined as "guitar pop" or "post-punk rock") may become at a particular time, it by definition cannot embody all of indie music, as, by indie's nature, there will be indie artists, labels and entire local scenes operating outside of this style and its definitions

Plus I hate the words "Jangly guitar pop."

In my opinion, indie has become a buzzword that anybody uses to give their band cred, not a genre. The Arcade Fire. INDIE. Franz Ferdinand. INDIE. And so on. In my opinion using other terms to use these bands would be better.

Plus, stuff like this exists because people use indie as a genre.

Saturday:
what about new order?
btw, i used to listen to electronic music, with some indie music and when somebody tried to show me some kind of music mixed with electronics to make me enter into certain genre, it pissed me off.

amok:
New Order are badass. If you're feeling gay get some ABC and Human League too :)
