I don't care what anyone says, indie most certainly is a type of music.

In what sense?
Indie Pop, is pop.
Indie cannot stand alone, which is why it isnt a genre.
All other genres can stand on their own.

In the you can have "indie pop" "indie rock" etc.. sense and you have that with other genres, thats a similarity. If it isn't a genre at all and not even similar to one, then why do you have indie folk and indie-pop as your two of your favorite genres?

Indie-Folk, is simply FOLK MUSIC released on an independant label.
Folk music, can stand on its own. Rock music can stand on its own. Rap music can stand on its own. Indie music, cannot stand on its own because the word indie doesnt personify a certain sound/style of music.

If indie is pop then it is willfully ragged, and goes for more of an authentic feel (even when that fell inctrived).

Errors are allowed for, in fact celebrated. I love how you keep saying its pop yet pop radio will never ****ing play them because what people think of as pop is not what we know as indie.

We all get that "indie isn't a genre" is the academic truthful definition. but language is everchanging and Jessica Simpson will never be called indie.

But if Jessica Simpson was signed to Kill Rock Stars, or Matador, then she would in fact be an indie pop artist. No way around it.

Are you ****ing kidding me? Come on man, you're just arguing absurdity now. Now I know you have no idea what your talking about.

How so?
Those are both indie record labels. If she was signed by Kill Rock Stars, she would be indie. She isnt, but if she was....

What the hell do you mean how so. You're telling me that is she was on an "indie label" you'd call her indie?

You wouldn't, you'd say she was corporate trying to pass herself off as indie, and you'd spam newbs who said otherwise, you're not fooling anyone.

If she was on an indie label, and if she hadn't previosly been on a major label, then she would be indie. Is that hard to grasp?
