"Then why even bother trying, just call it whatever you want inside your head/playlist and move on?"



Without assholes like me who feel they must correct people, we'd be calling indie a genre.



"Oh of course, must be more of that electrostep"



Minus the dubstep aesthetic. We've already come full circle before, so let's do it some more.

I thought we DO accept Indie as an overarching genre tag?

Indie rock is a subgenre of alternative rock

Sigh.

No. Being signed to an independent label has nothing to do with the style of music you play.

Words are words dude, indie rock doesn't mean the band has to be on an indie label

What the fuck does metal even mean, you know what I'm saying

There's still major label around???



Jokes aside I feel I'm out of my element/zone here, I'll let Deviant pass judgement (and Trebor).

You're on a thin line with that kind of reasoning. Bordering on "there really isn't such thing as

genres and classifications" is taking it a little too far. I get what you're saying, but there

definitely are very characteristic distinctions in music, both sonically and emotionally.



Indie being associated with "that indie sound" is inaccurate, though.

Pcar, if a track is 140 bpm with heavy bass wobbles and a half step kick snare pattern the way tracks like scatta and ruffneck (flex) are, what about them makes them electrohouse? The guy makes some electrohouse stuff, sure, but calling either of those electrohouse is crazy.

Holy motherfucking wtf.

I've gone and imploded my inverse anti-rewinding correlationalized sub-convention.

This is fucking, something. Holy damn.


You guys gotta dig into Mord Fustang's "A New World"

that song = optotron orgasmic roboBWOMP-ing joy-crack. Crack music. Music as crack, is that. Sufficiently so, in addition, to.

I don't know what is happening.

Pearl was founded by Katsumi Yanagisawa, who began manufacturing music stands in Sumida, Tokyo on April 2, 1946. In 1950, Yanagisawa shifted his focus to the manufacturing of drums and named his company "Pearl Industry, Ltd."

By 1953, the company's name had been changed to "Pearl Musical Instrument Company," and manufacturing had expanded to include drum kits, marching drums, timpani, Latin percussion instruments, cymbals, stands, and accessories.

Yanagisawa's eldest son, Mitsuo, joined Pearl in 1957 and formed a division to export Pearl products worldwide. To meet increasing worldwide demand for drum kits following the advent of rock and roll music, in 1961 Pearl built a 15,000 sq ft (1,400 m2) factory in Chiba, Japan to produce inexpensive drum kits that bore the brand names of more than thirty distributors such as Maxwin, CB-700, Stewart, Werco, Ideal, Crest, Revelle, Revere, Lyra, Majestic, Whitehall, Apollo, Toreador, Roxy, and Coronet.[1]

In 1966, Pearl introduced its first professional drum kit, the "President Series".

For a time in the early 1970s, Pearl was distributed in the U.S. by Norlin, the parent company of Gibson guitars at the time.

Today, Pearl's Taiwanese operation encompasses five factories whose output supplies nearly the entire worldwide market for Pearl products. The original Chiba factory now caters to the domestic Japanese market, producing drum kits, marching drums, timpani, and symphonic chimes.

Adams Musical Instruments are sold in the U.S. through Pearl dealers, Hughes and Kettner guitar and bass amplifiers are distributed through Pearl's main warehouse in Nashville, Tennessee and Sabian cymbals are distributed in Japan through Pearl dealers.

I second Ire.

Also this is very entertaining; I think Deviant and pcar should have a sitcom where they squabble about sub-genres.

I'm not gonna lie, I really like Mord Fustang's electro-house and a new world is a decent skrillex-y track.



I saw him live though and he showed up like 20 minutes late for his time slot but Liquid Stranger just extended his set for 20 more minutes to fill in which was really cool of him. Then when mord finally showed up he didn't offer any apology (or say anything at all), just got up there with his douchebag hair and played a mediocre set where he didn't smile or look at the audience once, and only tried to pump the audience up when he played one of his own tracks. One of the biggest displays of douche-baggery I've witnessed.

I don't get all the fuss about this. It's not great, it's not shite, it's not particularly heavy, and a lot of the tracks sound similar

Mord Fustang has some awesome tracks though, even if he is a douche

Yeah, like I said he makes fun stuff. It's starting to sound a little same-y though.
