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

wtf are you talking about? I never said I was changing for her... that's Jaundice... I'm just starting to get into indie. I would never change myself for another person. Learn to read my posts correctly please.

some of my fave indie:

the smiths - the smiths
of montreal - the sunlandic twins
belle and sebastian - if you're feeling sinister
the mountain goats - all hail west texas
ballboy - club anthems
bright eyes - lifted or the story is in the soil, keep your ear to the ground

what indie bands have you got in to so far because it's a pretty far reaching label?

Brand New, As Cities Burn...and thats about it lol.

[QUOTE=silverfang]wtf are you talking about? I never said I was changing for her... that's Jaundice... I'm just starting to get into indie. I would never change myself for another person. Learn to read my posts correctly please.[/QUOTE]yeah that was me that said that

[QUOTE=illmitch]of montreal - the sunlandic twins
belle and sebastian - if you're feeling sinister[/QUOTE]these are very good suggestions

basically kyle as a starting point get If You're Feeling Sinister and Neutral Milk Hotel's [I]In The Aeroplane Over The Sea. [/I]Those are probably two of the most well-respected indie albums and they've always been favorites. Be careful with Aeroplane though because it's pretty overwhelmingly emotional.

which brand new? if it's the newer stuff then maybe check out modest mouse.

lol, does brand new really sound like modest mouse now?

not at all but the heavier parts/screams means he might like modest mouse. idk

[QUOTE=Six Foot Revolver;17529632]which brand new? if it's the newer stuff then maybe check out modest mouse.[/QUOTE]

The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me... but I like all of Brand New's stuff.

lol does modest mouse really have heavier parts/screams now
