Indie rock is short for a rock band that's on independent record label. Its not a sound or a music style. The media has apparently confused or brain washed people who don't know what it is to start believing it is tho. Really since the 70s and 80s indie rock bands have gotten mainstream attention without being on a major label. Notable since the 70s to 2000s are joy division,the smiths,oasis,blur,the libertines,arcade fire. Which are all alternative. So when someone says its all the same or is a sound it makes no sense cause theres hardrock bands,heavy metal bands,punk rock bands and more different rock genres on a indie label.
Girl: have you heard indie rock like the killers,death cab for cutie,the strokes? they all have the indie sound. Guy: no those bands are on major labels and indie rock does not have a sound. But I love those bands. Girl: oh!

A great band from the U.K. And one of the best alt-rock/post-punk revival bands of the 2000S. Listen to there album from 2008, to lose my life or to lose my love. The song to lose my life is great.

The strokes are a garage rock/post-punk band, formed in 1998. Also along with the white stripes brought back mainstream media interest in garage rock. And many other garage rock bands and post-punk bands became big along with them. in 2001 the strokes realeased is this it. The album has notable songs like last nite,hard to explain and nyc cops. The bands music and style has influenced the majority of music to after in the 2000s. The bands dress style is usually somewhat 70s retro,vintage. So a certain style would be blazers or a leather jacket with skinny jeans and chuck. taylors. The strokes may be the #1 reason you might see lots of guys dressed that way.
Other 2000s bands like the strokes are the libertines,arctic monkeys,the hives,interpol,franz ferdinand,the killers,tokyo police club.

People that can't help you with anything. They should always be avoided. They will ONLY bring you negativaty.
When I'm with my coworkers I'm mostly happy. When I'm around mike and amber I'm always annoyed and angry. Fucking worthless people.
