Since most indie bands sound like each other now, can we call it a genre?
Your thoughts on indie? Indie is (or was) the new alternative, and is now boring.

I agree. It was interesting to see bands trying to sound independent of each other at first, but now they all sound the same.
Indie= Garage music.
There's nothing wrong with garage music, though.
I was hoping this thread was going to be about Indiana Jones. =[
I was hoping this thread was going to be about Daler Mehndi. =[
That is easily one of the best things on Youtube, ever. :up:Quote:

I love indie, btw. :D
Yeah, I have that on my iPod and sing the lyrics to it regularly, usually while drunk.Quote:

Which bands usually fall under this genre of Indie, just to make it clearer.
Any bands that aren't rock, pop, rap, or weird.
I guess something like The Smiths or Iron and Wine?
I used to date a chick that was really into indie music, it all sucked.
I wish he would stop pointing at me! :mad2:Quote:
