I can't stand "indie rock"

gmku · 09.06.2006, 11:16 AM

Today's incarnation of it, anyway. It's so whiny. And mainstream-pop sounding.

I think there's good underground stuff going on, but man, this popular indie rock crap is crap.

porkmarras · 09.06.2006, 11:27 AM

I must be so ahead of my time then.

sonicl · 09.06.2006, 03:30 PM

What bands are you referring to gmku?

gmku · 09.06.2006, 03:37 PM

New Pornographers
Arcade Fire
The Shins
Broken Social Scene

among others

PAULYBEE2656 · 09.06.2006, 03:53 PM

arcade fire are real good band but i know what gmku is getting at. the wave of radio acceptable "indie" style guitar rock is annoying.

just gimme indie rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rob Instigator · 09.06.2006, 04:19 PM

Bloc Party suck

gmku · 09.06.2006, 04:21 PM

Yeah, Bloc Party's on my bad list, too. Along with Clap Your Hands...

LNC · 09.06.2006, 04:22 PM

Only annoying indie is NME indie! This nme-next-big-thing-holly-grail went out of control a year or two ago and it looks like that they have some kind of "the______s" hive hidden somewhere in case this post-punk-revival glorification lingers on. And they all sound the same. Now, that's boring! Shins, Arcade, BSC & Pornographers are kind of radio frendly virgin indie, but still better then Paddingtons, Nine black alps, Cribs & Rakes...

fuck yes. the other day i was in a waiting room and they were playing it. it was like country music strewn with 90's musical cliches. then i found out it was a christian station (double the annoyance). but it all sounds the same anyway.

screamingskull · 09.06.2006, 05:12 PM

When people in my town talk about 'indie' music they dont meen bands that are on an indipendant label, they meen bands that sound a certain way. one of my friends was talking about this the other day, he was saying "im just sick of emo kids, from now on im indie" i asked what music he liked and he answered " The Kaiser Cheifs, the babyshambles, razorlight" and a whole bunch of other shit english bands Non of which are on indipendant labels.

Indie has lost all meaning!

anyone who brands themselves as being anything might have some issues to work through.
