[i]The Fame[/i] is awesome

seriously, I must have listened to it 100 times by now

so do you want good hip-hop or do you want stuff like MC Chris and Busdriver? Oh and not that you can't ask here but there is a hip-hop forum with a pretty good collection of essentials and lists etc.

I diddn't realize until I went to the review site and saw it when I came back through, so yeah. My bad

none of the hip hop you listed is good

just get binary star's masters of the universe, listen to it a few times, and then decide if you really think mc chris is cool

Alrighty, I tend to listen to what people recommend and my friend is a big fan so yeah

i have never been able to get into that binary star album

sean sounds like you're looking for cracker rap, you'd probably like stuff by El-P (Fantastic Damage for a jumping off point closer to Aesop, his latest for something a bit different). You'd probably like Sage Francis (Personal Journals is aight) or Atmosphere (Lucy Ford EPs or Godlovesugly), too. But really you should just dive in. Don't let **** like 'gangster' labels hold you back.

ugh i hate white people rapping

check out cunninlynguists. i think a white guy makes their beats.

I need some good indie... with awesome artsy themes...

trying to impress girls i see

i'll hook you up with the best but you didn't hear about these from me
Of Montreal
Neutral Milk Hotel
Belle and Sebastian

those are my favorites. You also might like Clinic, Margot and the Nuclear So and So's, Blonde Redhead, Flaming Lips. And if you really want to get girls excited try Animal Collective and Decemberists.

The one girl I liked loved The Decemberists lol.

Bjork - Debut

every indie girl has to be utterly in love with Decemberists and Animal Collective. It's like a social law.

i like animal collective.

:-|

I guess so... she loved tea and was kind of weird sometimes but she's fun to chill with.

you are an indie girl

did she burn incense

the kind with the dots on the forehead or the feathers in their hair

feathers on their forehead

lmao No just a weird girl... what about stuff with indie influences... like As Cities Burn and Brand New.

feathers in the foreskin you say

the devil and god are raging inside me is pretty much just an indie album

how old are you silverfang? obviously young enough to worry about changing yourself for some dumb girl

you'll learn

is it bad I consider myself too cool for the term indie and arrange bands into the actual subgenres they allegedly belong to

it makes almost no sense is what i consider it

like i've got no problem with the term as such but if a group plays shoegaze, psychedelic rock or post-punk revival stuff i'll lump them into a shoegaze, psychedelic rock or post-punk folder with other bands who seem to transcend indie to belong to those genres somehow even though back in the day they probably belonged to independent record labels so idk

90% of indie music can't be categorized as anything but generic indie

other 10% can be put into other categories

what characterises generic indie though

acoustic guitars , boring melodies, girls like it.

I don't remember specifically because I haven't listened to stuff like this in a while.

the only things i leave labeled as indie is pinback and similar sounding ****. everything else gets further classified.

yes, i have pinback

Silversun Pickups

[QUOTE=Jaundice;17526620]acoustic guitars , boring melodies, girls like it. [/QUOTE]

folk pop?

there's a certain brand of it though that just screams indie rock in an indescribable way

indie rock seems to me to be just an umbrella terms for different shades of rock like noise rock or stoner rock

is it lo-fi production values that make it sound weedy which make it more indie I wonder

[QUOTE=Jaundice;17526625]Silversun Pickups[/QUOTE]

alternative rock

[QUOTE=Si1v3RfaNg;17526087]stuff with indie influences... like As Cities Burn[/QUOTE]

wtf are you on

also minus the bear

or is she one of those brit indie girls

if so then the Libertines, Albert Hammond Jr, The Smiths, Babyshambles, the Subways, **** like that

[QUOTE=Luc214;17528601]wtf are you on[/QUOTE]

college

pinback is good stuff
