wtf is indie anyway? It all sounds the same, so independent rock not really a fitting name for the genre. In fact, the genre of independent rock is an oxymoron.
how is it an oxymoron? if you put out records without getting any help from major labels you are indie.
no, no, no... the phrase "indie rock" is totally meaningless these days. I mean, talking about "corporate rock" and "indie rock" is just ridiculous- you have to talk about how it sounds to classify it. My Bloody Valentine, for instance, would probably be shoegazing/dream pop. Sonic Youth and Jesus & mary Chain would probably be more alternative rock (even that term is kinda vague because tons of mainstream bands these days call themselves alternative rock instead of describing themselves directly) And then all these emo pop-punk bands around these days call themselves indie when they have all the money they need and are totally mainstream. just my opinion, i just think
How about spending more time listening to the music rather than trying to pigeonhole it into a category
