the third half huh. You're missing the point. Plenty of debate gets stepped over for the lawl-fest.

I don't suppose anyone has any opinion on Indie then?

Indie: There are good and bad indie acts, just like every other genre. The term indie no longer applies to just bands on independent labels. I really don't care and I don't see why people get so worked up over it. It's just a word.

Music sucks these days , whatever happened to the days when you could buy some great New Romantic albums, A Flock Of Seagulls , Duran Duran , Modern Romance , ABC.

See how ridiculous this argument is when you change the genre?

Urban Hatemonger, have you read any of this thread? I never once said that music sucks these days, I never once said that the quality of music was better in any other decade.

"What's with all this electronic Animal Collective crap, this poor man's ambient Eno imitations, these pathetic attempts at trying to steal Brian Wilson's brain? It seems that most "independent" music, music on the fringe, is either metal-based or indie explorations in pop. Nobody plays truly electrically loud anymore, it's either heavy metal/hard rock or softer "indie pop"/"neo-psychadelia" without the solos, whatever - what happened to people who listened to the Stooges, Hendrix, MC5, the Who? They're gone."

Then what the hell did this mean? Looks like you think it sucks to me, not necessarily worst than any other decade but it is obvious you think its bad.

dude, its not just a word. making indie a genre is just allowing it to get accepted and whored. it is only becoming a genre because of its wide acceptance and it being "cool." and that is bull. indie is NOT a genre
