I used the "indie" to describe a genre of people, not music, in order to make a broad point and avoid writing an essay.
I really don't want to argue with anyone about this. Like I said, I misread the op apparently, and once again, I am getting flak for not liking the bands I am supposed to. I like loads of bands within the genres mentioned and that share the same genre as the bands mentioned. For instance, I love The Velvet Underground but hate Nico...whatever. Lets all just gang up on NICKLBACK for bastageizing pop radio. Like I said, ya'll are acting like 1 genre has more artistic merit, but that is all subjective. For example I rather listen to Stevie B sing Springlove than The Arcade fire. At least I know I will be having fun..."Springlove....come back to me........and thats when my heartache begaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, heart ache be-ganan" Yeah thats wassup!
