Indie means independent right? so it means pretty much any band that releases an album or song independantly without using major record companies. so a rocker could release an album by himself and its Indie. A rapper could then theoretically release an album by himself and he'd technically also be indie. A techno song could be Indie. so could pop, grunge, metal, jazz, etc etc. as long as its released independently.
So why the FUCK do people keep calling it a genre?

Person 1: My favourite genre of music is rap.
Person 2: I hate rap, i loooove Indie though. Especially Atmosphere.
Person 1: But he's a rapper........

listen, "indie" is not a genre of music. It means independent music - think like the bohemian lifestyle. There is no such thing as indie music versus rap music or whatever the fuck you want to compare it to. It represents an era, not one certain type of music. get is right.
Be indie in everything you do.

some lame people came up with a label for being an individual and somehow managed to relate it to independent music which is stupid because independent isn't a genre. I know I know. you really believe it is. since when are independent rap artists and independent rock bands under the same category? get lives.
normal person: what kind of music do you listen to?
moron who wishes he was indie: oh I'm into bands of the independent persuasion
normal person: oh okay. so have you ever heard of 'you are a sadass liar'?
moron: not since they went mainstream. what a bunch of pathetic sellouts.
normal person: yeahhh.

FFS! can people stop calling killers and snow patrol indie!!!!!!!!
the only mainstream indie band is arctic monkeys. and thats only cos they originated from real indie stuff.
modern indie bands: the films, llibertines, babyshambles, maximo park.
pete doherty is the perfect indie, he's likable yet doesnt get on with anyone and is himself.
indie music has meaningful lyrics, yet isnt depressing like emo.
if you have any idea wat good music is, you'l love indie.
although this definition didnt actually say what indie is; there is a reason for that. indie isnt anything, its just people or music being watever it wants to be and not caring what anyone else thinks of that.
if you have a problem with this definition, email me yeah?

Someone who makes all their facebook profile pictures a sepia tone, shaves either sides of their heads, tries really hard to try and secretly act cool, and is actually a looser trying to find a different vent for their looserness than emo.
