Indie is the most pointless genre ever.

It just tends to mean any white guitar band who doesn`t play metal these days

Independant labels are getting kind of huge, too. Ex. Epitaph.

Emo = emotional hardcore.

Indie means music on an Independent label. It's just people have blown it out of context and are calling everything indie. It's not pointless, it's actually one of the best genres of music on the planet today. It provides good talent that's just waiting to be discovered, and lets a band grow without being under the watchful eye of things like MTV that basically convert a band into being another clone.

When isn't bubblegum pop played on the radio. Or hip hop. Or whatever.
In my eyes, its mainly all the same. No matter what the classification threads say here, they all produce the same ty music to me.

Yeah, because Classical is SO like Bubblegum Pop. Anyway Urban, there is still plenty of undiscovered talent out there, making a name for themselves on the Indie circuit now. It's just that Indie has become more popular recently, with the kind of people that watch MTV even watching over it, waiting to see if any 'r0xxorz bandz' are out there that the TV doesn't play. There are plenty of the 'so-called' Indie bands that HAVE a major record label yet the idiots still call them Indie. But there is also the 'proper' indie music that can be found. It's like Dance. You have the sh*tty Dance songs that appear on MTV and the like, but then you get the better less mainstream Dance in the clubs.

It`s not happened recently hence my 15 years comment. All thoughtout the 90s major labels were putting bands on their own subsiduary lables to give them 'indie appeal'.The whole thing is a load of bollocks , you can`t judge bands by which record labels they`re on.

I didn't know about that. But to be honest that's exactly the same as punk-bands not wearing big brand clothes or appearing on big name shows because they want to look punk. I think that's pointless aswell. Surely the Punk way is not giving a dam about what other people think, so they shouldn't give a dam about what the punk fans think if they suddenly appear on Saturday Night Live or wear some Nike trainers. I like Punk music, but the whole punk ethos is stupid and childish to me.
