This is why I could care less about genres. I use them to find similar bands when I find one I like. That's it.
If you want to listen to the Killers and the Shins and all those mainstream 'the ____s' bands that have adopted the term 'indie,' and you want to call yourself indie because you like them, go right ahead. If you want to rebuke the mainstream and listen to Dinosaur Jr. and Husker Du and whatever and call that 'indie,' go ahead. I don't care. I don't care if you feel the need to dress like Elvira to consider yourself 'gothic' while neglecting 'the finer points of gothic origin.' It doesn't affect my life in any way, shape, or form. Just don't give me some crap about how your taste is superior, and you're fine with me. It doesn't matter.
