What do you define as "indie", /mu/?
"indie" is such a broad ass term it pisses me off when people say they listen to "indie".
Indie by definition means "independent" music from labels like 4AD and shit, but even now I don't think thats really independent considering their releases get a ton of airtime on top 40.
Indie is so watered down now its incredible. Its completely commercialized now and thats just sad.
>>63720100
independent
>>63720100
i use it derogatorily to describe slightly lesser known alt-rock bands i don't like while i try to stick any other label that applies to slightly lesser known alt-rock bands that i like
>>63720100
i fucking despise the term "indie"
>>63720150
thanks for the history lesson you faggot
Go listen to Sufjan, I hear he's pretty "indie"
>>63720100
I want to put my weiner "indi" your butthole Giselle
I always thought it meant "music with lower production values that is published under a label that is not an industry giant."
Nowadays, it means "kind of quirky music that doesn't make the Top 40."
>>63720150
This is the best post I've seen from you out of what I've seen you say so far.
>>63720147
out of all the trips you get montie
at least it's not unty
Does it not mean "not signed to a label/signed to own label"?
>>63720100
I'm kind of retarded so I just define it as stuff that gives me the same feel as modest mouse or built to spill.
Kind of just making the music they want to within a certain sound stereotype there of acoustic/subtly angst-ridden bands.
>>63720100
Indie is a word used to describe a genre of pop music that is marketed to college hipsters instead of clubgoers
>>63720228
Sufjan Stevens is actually good though and has some good music that he writes from the heart.
Most of these supposed "indie" bands get handed shit from their producers and are expected to become the next buzzband to hit top 40 for a week or two, get covered by a pretty girl on youtube, and walk away with a decent amount of cash so the record company can bring in another band and do the exact same thing over again.
Meanwhile the first band releases a 2nd album and it gets absolutely no attention.
There are plenty of examples of this.

Say Adele is fat and can't make music fuck off
>People bitching about "indie" label because hurf durf it's not TECHNICALLY IDENEPENDNET RECORD LABEL CHECKMATE NORMIES
Jesus you people are insufferable
The labels are there to identify a certain type of sound, even if they don't make enough sense they serve their necessary purpose and that's all that matters
You people like to bitch about names like "indie rock" and "post-rock" and whatever but imagine if we didn't have those and you just had bands like Godspeed, NMH and Led Zeppelin all smashed together in a single genre
>>63720147
"lmao you listen to Adele? Don't you know she's fat?"
>>63720100
I think theres a certain laziness in indie rock and pop. they are distinct genres that have there own sound, and aren't a generic label to describe the conditions that an album is released into. I think indie lyrics are more abstract, not in a pretencious artistic way, just more subtle and poetic.
if it sounds like shit, it's probably indie.

I used to get so annoyed at people who got anal about "emo" and were like HURR IT'S ABOUT 90'S EMOTIONAL HARDCORE GUYS"
and i was always thinking in my head ok gj on being some queer on urbandictionary or wikipedia.
but then as I discovered more 1st and 2nd wave emo I think I kind of got what they mean.
But for indie I guess it's a different story.
if you read hipster runoff back in the day - you would know exactly what is meant by the descriptor 'indie'.

Indie is more of a sonic blue print or blanet term now, it's kinda like ALT or Rock but not rough a kind of sound. It's very broad but it's very much a sound or something that you can pin down in your head.

Look at the top 20 bands under "indie rock."
You have post-punk, noise rock, post-hardcore, chamber pop, alt-rock, folk, garage rock, lo-fi, and slowcore. It's a pretty damn vague term, almost meaningless nowadays.

True Satanic Black Metal are bands such as Darkthrone, Aryan Satankampf, Graveland, the Gestapo 666, Satanic Warmaster, Beherit and Impaled Nazarene. You can listen to Metallica if you want, but you do not understand anything about the real Hitleric Nazi Black Metal. You are just a poser and you can fuck off the whole scene. Black Metal is real music, not intended for animals like you, but the real Satanic Misanthropists who do not care about people like you dampers.
Black Metal is music for the elite and you do not understand it. None of you understand the real Satanism. You ridiculous little kids. Our worldview is based on Wotanic Hitlerism, on a personal level satanic individualism, collective level Hitleric Fascism. Without an understanding of theoretical occultism, it is useless to dream of understanding the Wotanic worldview. None of you can understand Wotanism, for you are all intellectually earthworms. You can not reach the elite level of Satanism, so why even dream about it. Satanism and Black Metal are for the elite. For real misanthropists.

That's fucking it. I'm fucking sick of your retarded, ugly-ass, stupid fucking cat. Your cat looks like it got cleaved in the face with a machete at birth, it's so fucking ugly. Every time I see that dumb cunts wide face all I feel is a pure seething hatred for you and that ball of retarded piss and fur. If I ever see you or that fucking cat in real life I'm going to kill myself right then and there on the spot because killing you wouldn't satiate the rage I feel from that dumb, stupid, ugly, piece of shit, retarded, fat-ass fucking shitcat. Fuck you, and fuck that fucking cat.

First thing I do when I wake up is listen to TMR. Then I have breakfast, soybeans of course. After I eat I have my shower where I listen to Trout Mask Replica again. As a cleanser, I like to go for a run where I typically listen to a lighter album like Safe As Milk or even Bongo Fury. When I get back it's lunch time and I'll listen to Trout Mask Replica while I mash my soybeans. While I eat I like to enjoy a nice documentary, specifically one about Captain Beefheart. Following that extended screen time I like to keep my mind sharp with some reading. So I'll read and interpret the lyrics to Trout Mask Replica, of course I have the album playing in the background so I'm 100% focused. By now my day is going pretty good and I usually want to share it with somebody else. So I'll call up some friends to hang out. We like to play basketball, play tabletop RPGS and watch movies together but mostly we listen to Trout Mask Replica. After we all listen to the album together in our listening circle we head back to my place for dinner where I serve up a mean soybean. Just for the sake of ambiance, I'll play Trout Mask Replica in the background. Dinner conversation tends to be lively as we each share our favorite moments from Trout Mask Replica. My friends go home after this and while it was fun, it's time to prepare for another big day tomorrow. I'm only human so pardon me if this is graphic but I do enjoy a bit of masturbation before I sleep. I'm not really adventurous, I masturbate to vanilla, lesbian sex and oral but mostly just the cover art of Trout Mask Replica. Following that I clean myself up and unwind with a bit of music; Trout Mask Replica being my favorite. That's when I hop into the shower for a brief and relaxing warmth, I'm pretty clean by now I just want to ease up my muscles. Then it's time for bed. Being something of an audiophile I like to listen to music while I sleep. After I hit play to start up the song "Frownland" I drift to sleep.

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.
Swans exist within a cloud of hyperbole, from the maximized minimalism of their savage beats and the extreme unrest of their barked lyrics to the escalating gauntlet of their album covers and their blooming disregard of industry standards. To summarize, Soundtracks For The Blind-- a record ostensibly paid for by a label owned by one of the craziest men in the world but released for free on the Internet-- features an erect penis inked with the title in sloppy Sharpie script on its cover. One of its most undeniable hooks reads, "Does everyone know, that you, are more fucked up than me?" Everything about this band seems extreme.

Fresh off the boat, from reddit, kid? heh I remember when I was just like you. Braindead. Lemme give you a tip so you can make it in this cyber sanctuary: never make jokes like that. You got no reputation here, you got no name, you got jackshit here. It's survival of the fittest and you ain't gonna survive long on 4chan by saying stupid jokes that your little hugbox cuntsucking reddit friends would upboat. None of that here. You don't upboat. You don't downboat. This ain't reddit, kid. This is 4chan. We have REAL intellectual discussion, something I don't think you're all that familiar with. You don't like it, you can hit the bricks on over to imgur, you daily show watching son of a bitch. I hope you don't tho. I hope you stay here and learn our ways. Things are different here, unlike any other place that the light of internet pop culture reaches. You can be anything here. Me ? heh, I'm a judge.. this place.... this place has a lot to offer... heh you'll see, kid . . . that is if you can handle it..
