My list of "100 things that annoy me about music"! (dancing, genre)

FireInCairo · 09-15-2008, 03:06 AM

i probably fit into the indie kid mould what with my skinny black jeans, big black hair and such (as you have bagged me about before) and i certainly know people who fit this completely...

but its just too much of a blanket statement: people are not all the same.
on the other hand it is true there is a scene of bitchy little fashionistas who dont know anything about music...they read NME enough said
and most if not all radiohead fans ive met know that they were inspired by the pixies

i love all music from prog to hip hop from from rock to dance and jazz to classical and indie, world and grunge etc so its unfair to say that ALL indie kids listen to the same music

and the pixies, the melvins, sonic youth et al that you seem to love are indie staple!!!

i dont think you've been talking to real indie kids

Cobe Kai · 09-15-2008, 05:25 AM

Look, I can't be bothered to debate this right now.

I'm really upset because of something that just happened.

I'll come back to this in a few days.

And look, FireInCairo, two out of three of those American bands are not from New York!

FireInCairo · 09-15-2008, 06:29 AM

i never said i didnt like other bands from america!!!
i was talking about my favourites
and the majority come from either new york or the uk
i like the melvins - not a favourite but good
i love the pixies - an exception
i love sonic youth - NYC

Peerbreed · 09-15-2008, 07:32 AM

I have never run into an indie kid who didn't know the Pixies. It just doesn't happen. This thread is going to be like a car crash.

FireInCairo · 09-15-2008, 07:34 AM

dont rag on him too much
its all about his opinion anyway whether it be well informed or not.

i think scenester sums up what hes on about more than indie kid

Yeah i was going to post something explaining this. Indie is just the word that is associated with the recent batch of popular music, it doesn't actually imply that style of music.

lucifer_sam · 09-15-2008, 12:12 PM

Aren't the Melvins on an indie label?

/endthread.

I don't know why, maybe it's the fact it's forced on me, or the fact that I love alternative music, but I literally HATE indie kids, indie music, and the whole indie scene.

These people don't know music! They think music started with Oasis and Blur. I liked Blur until these blasted indie kids took it. I can't listen to the radio in my sixth form common room without being bombarded with this terrible, same-sounding, corporately made songs!
They physically hurt my ears! Being forced to listen to 'Radiohead' or 'Bloc Party' (I hate them both so much) and I'm only being forced to listen to it because it's popular right now!

I'm a grunger, always will be, I don't deny the fact that I've been labelled this. If anything it says Im doing it right. But as such, I don't find many people liking The Melvins, The Pixies or Mudhoney... I do find people worshipping idiots like The Automatic and Thing-things who I've /tried/ listening to, but end up wanting to kill myself!
THEY SOUND EXACTLY THE SAME

Now on to the clothing. All from Top-Shop or Top-Man... I hate it! I hate the look of it, it makes me feel ill! I hate the people wearing them (usually pompous little half wit guys, playing to the indie mould or anorexic girls with nothing better to do than be idiots).

I was forced into a class with them in my previous Sixth Form... and all they do is make up ridiculous stuff and talk about pointless things! It bugs me completely that they're so hypocritical and how I'm being forced this stupid SCENE onto me. They all insulted me and took the micky out of anything I liked, but I knew the history of it, and fought back with facts, and these idiots (not all though, I'm sure) genuinely believe that music began with Radiohead... that bands like The Pixies never mattered.
(although if you check up on it, Radiohead refused to play after the pixies, saying they could never follow such a great band)
They honestly think that blues and the development of music doesn't matter. That classic rock bands ALL SUCK.

I asked one to name a classic rock band... they said Oasis! OASIS! I told them they aren't and they refused to accept that Led Zepplin, Black Sabbath, Def Leppard, Van Halen or Judas Priest did anything for music or are classic rock!

I don't know why it's so popular, but goddam it, I hate everything to do with it. The clothing, the scene, the sound, the attitude. It all sucks! It all stinks!

So in short, I HATE INDIE.
Independant music labels are different, because they may not be an 'indie brand'. We need to understand the difference between major and indie in that respect.

But I hate:
Indie music
Indie kids
Indie personality
Indie attitude
Indie clothes
THE INDIE SCENE!

So does that mean you think Mark Lanegan is a grunge sell out for making records with 'indie musician' Isobel Campbell ?
