Indie music????!


Question: its not new its been going for years


Answers: its not new its been going for years

Although independent music and record labels have been around since the 60's, with whats now referred to as Garage (The Stooges and so on),and the first great independent label Stiff Records started in 1976, Indie music as we know it evolved out of punk, when bands often released their own, self-financed singles, and independent labels like Mute, Rough Trade, Fast, Postcard and Factory released some wonderfully original and experimental music by new artists, in the spirit of the punk "Do It Yourself" ethos. Most people associate the word Indie with britpop, although it's fair to say that Oasis are a mainstream rock band, and to label them indie is to stain nearly 30 years of music created out of passion for the art form, without regard for financial awards.

totally
how long had oasis been around ages isn't it?

yea you're right! I love it too!! lol my family says I listen to "weird" music though :( oh well

its boring music.. give my techno, electro, metal, country, anyday..

Yep ... and it just means independent. Now, these kids are turning it into some trend, those bastards.

Indies Rubbish

Rap/Hip Hop/R&B is the best

yeah, for real. the music now isnt even indie, they just call themselves that because they have nothing else that sounds good enough.

yes.. humans have an annoying habit to class things and then sub class them and stereotypicalise them and give characteristics and then make ppl think that belongs to that

grr.

yes, yes I know.
and there's so much of it that even though i've been listening to it for so long i've barely even scratched the surface.
i really love it too because you find it in the wierdest places and then you get that amazing feeling knowing that you know about a band they don't play on the radio or on TRL.
for example i knew about Feist and Ingrid Michaelson years before they were mainstream. it's kind of sad when everyone realizes what they've been missing because then it's not your little secret anymore.
i just want to say that everybody is SO afraid to listen to the emo genre of music or to even say it, and next year people will probably be afraid to say indie rock. i don't mind the sub-classing of genres, maybe that's just me, but i've found that i care more about the actual music then what people happen to be calling that year. i have my own definition of indie alternative and rock, it's something that breeds underground and lives for its own purpose.
about the people who think indie is new, well, i just don't get them. they forgot that no music is new. it's recycled and improved and tested. that's what makes it so powerful. every song you've ever heard was inspired by countless things that have already been done a hundred times over.

Yes, but like most kids these days they think they invented everything!!

Most "indie" stuff today isn't even on an independent label which means it isn't indie at all - the term was never meant to be a musical style. It's not really very good, is it? Still, it is nowhere near as bad as rap or r&b.
