I get afraid when some loser 'The Killers liker' says to me
'Sturge, what do you think of The Decemberists album then?'

I generally go 'oh no! they are shit, you definatly dont wont to go out and buy their records, i heard the new My Chemical Romance album is pretty banging though!'

That usually puts them off the scent, phew, another band succesfully saved from bad music listeners.


Aw screw you, I'm a big fan of all three of those bands ;P

I can't wait until this Indie elitist stuff kicks off full on like the Black Metal kvlt trend did. Then you'll all feel so leet, until someone points out Black Metal did it 15 odd years ago and still does.

That will be when your bands start saying anyone that doesn't like their latest LP has "obviously Jewish behavour" before claiming it's just a local term for stupid that they use all the time without thinking and of course not racist.

Or Indie Kids call each other "poser fags" for liking a band more than 5 people in the surrounding 50 miles have heard off.

Oh shit, that's happened in my town. It's called the "emo scene."

My solution involves chainsaws and e-meters. Think it'll work?

No, not at all. But yes, Indie is just copying Black Metal in that regards. Also the low-fi thing as well. Apart from Black Metal actually made entertaining music from it.

I live in a town 60 miles south of Houston, and when The Killers play on the local mix station, whatever indie cred it once had has been destroyed. I'm new to the indie rock scene. You know how there are bar babies? Well, my mom has raised me a concert baby. She has been taking me to concerts (some big ones, but mostly clubs) since I can remember, from everything from Loudon Wainwright to Cheryl Wheeler to John Prine to Susan Lindfors. If you have heard of anyone besides Loudon, please tell me as I have not met anyone who knows who the other two are, especially Susan Lindfors. I saw Garden State when it came out in the theaters back whenever that was, and really liked it, and got the soundtrack and DVD for Christmas, and it has introduced me to a few bands. Iron and Wine and The Shins are especially appealing. I love the song "Young Pilgrims" by The Shins! As for what I was originally going to write in relation to the topic, most everyone at my school is a Hot Topic zombie, and it's awful. The music sucks, the clothes have anarchy signs and heartograms all over them that makes them "cool," and it takes stuff that I like and turns it into a trend. Eh, clothes don't matter to me. I wear anything that looks good, is of decent make, and is affordable.

Like my Swedish gas mask!

Stylish and Anthrax-proof, and all for only £20. I knows a bargain when I sees one.

John Prine.


Speed of the Sound of Lonliness is a GREAT song.

Unfortunately, that's the only one I know. :(

What about orgasmic chemistry.

I can expand the definition of that if anyone wants to roll around to my Fortress of Love.

I don't like them either.  Nor do I care for Modest Mouse and The Strokes.


My friend was all, "c'mon!  you're just saying that to be a hipster snob.  'oh, four other people like them... they can't be cool!' and all that.  Give them a shot!"

So I did, I really, truly tried.  I meditated on it.  I just... don't.  The Strokes are okay, and The Killers/Modest Mouse can turn out a decent tune every now and then... but it all just makes me wonder why The Arcade Fire isn't hella famous instead of these jerks.

Well for modest mouse because of the angry factor.  Though I must add I do like modest mouse.  (not because of the angry factor)

Now I'm confused...I put them in the indie bracket in the sense that they're a guitar band, and they have fans who are into bloc party, kaiser chiefs et al and spend their time clogging up the indie press more than, say, smash hits or other mags, not because of label or underground status - indie bands can get popular too. That they are insufferably annoying is another matter, but a fair bit of indie is shite too...
that's my view, anyway.

My favourite stereo type is the one with the CD and the radio in it. And a tape deck is always handy. A record player is a matter of personal choice.

(Not that I'm counting but is this not the third topic on the subject of image/looks/style/stereotyping in a pretty short time?)

Yes and they've all gone on different directs/been about different things.

If it'd had all be one topic, it would have been locked for off topic and these things wouldn't have been air. So they're all good topics.

I just have zero-tolerance for these guys, really, especially their first 'hit' - " Somebody Told Me".  Rubbish, in my opinion.  Besides, usually any music considered independant contains lyrics that are above average in quality and/or insightful.  Let's just take a peek:
Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
Wow.  'Nuff said.

SHIT, that's who does that.  Hurr.  Not my cup of tea but amusingly gets me thinking on how alot of people (around here at least) that dress in a hipster sense are androgynous as in apperance as you can get (which actually isn't as androgynous as a person can get, I think glam probably pulled that off.)
