12.28.10 | funny, i was just today debating whether death cab was indie pop or not and i decided they were. everyones probably gonna get mad for taking genres seriously. |

12.28.10 | Hm...These are all 'indie pop' at one point or another. Pavement, Pixies, Flaming Lips, and Sonic Youth are probably more leaning towards alternative rock or noise-wave. Modest Mouse and Death Cab I'd say are more indie rock. |

12.28.10 | 8, 15 and 16 I'd say are Indie Rock, but that's really all I'm familiar with. |

12.28.10 | Yeah, I try to think of it like this; does this sound poppish or more like rock. I kinda of have my own genre for a few bands that I could consider indie, garage rock,- the White Stripes, Strokes, and Black Keys. I think Death Cab if Indie Pop; Plans is pretty poppy. PuddlesPuddles... I like how you phrase it, most bands change, some of their albums are more poppy than otheres. |

12.28.10 | Thanks, I guess I agree. So really what is the main difference between rock and pop, on this. |
therayder
12.28.10 | Well the best I can say is that rock is heavier, more focused on guitar, while pop is *usually* happier sounding and lighter. Gah it's hard to really describe |

DeadBeat
01.28.12 | Some Indie bands are indeed talented
They just don't have balls |
Sowing
01.28.12 | that too |
wabbit
01.28.12 | I'd say its more an old vs new thing than a genre thing. Cause indie music used to be about strange abstract lyrics with fucking kick ass guitars and had balls now it is just limp wristed faggy shit.
ie animal collective- Spirit they've gone, spirit they've vanished compared to MPP
hell even the national lost it's balls on high violet.
...YOU'RE RIGHT THERE ARE! EXCEPTIONS!!!! YOU SURE ARE A CLEVER BOY!!!! |
