Yeah i probably did give it to the 70s primarly because of my prog bias.

But its not like the UK lacked great bands of all genres during that period.

Indie isn't a genre though.

Still its similar to one, and most of the bands that have been discussed all fall into that catergory.

This whole arguement seems like its based around indie bands, theres more to music then that one genre...

Sorry for reading between the lines.
How is it close to one?
Is this to say that Aesop Rock, and Stars fall under the same genre?

You have indie rock, indie pop. You have punk rock, pop punk. We have a forum for it, and everything. It has alot of stuff thats similar to a genre.

~~bungalow~~ · 03-19-2006, 05:47 PM

Indie Pop, is just pop music released on an independant record label.
It has nothing to do with the genre of the music.

~~bungalow~~ · 03-19-2006, 05:50 PM

I am just curious why you think it's close to one.
I don't see it at all. Indie Pop, is pop music.

Record Label Status = Indie
Genre Of Music = Pop

There is where Indie Pop comes from.
Nothing more, the term 'indie' doesnt affect the sound of the music.

It can still be catergorized as indie-pop though, which is more what I was getting at. It has similarities in that sense to a genre.
