Indie? I guess. - General - Facepunch Forum

I've recently started listening to a lot of what I can only describe as Indie music... stuff like Of Montreal, Young Love, Late of the Pier, The Flaming lips. Anyone have any suggestions that you think I'd like?

^ Listen to this man. Edit: It had Joy division and Sonic Youth, screw you guys. - I'm going home.

I watched Matt and Kim on Jimmy Kimmel. I was like "What the fuck is this shit?" They are terrible live, otherwise great band.

Try "The Victorian English Gentlemens Club"

If you like the flaming lips, you'll probably like the pixies.

The Fiery Furnaces!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (!!!!) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6fktHmQQlc[/media] Also, the list was pretty damn comprehensive, even by my standards. Maybe try Belle and Sebastian too, depends what type of Indie you like.

Two words. Pave. Ment. Pavement

Bombay Bicycle Club The Maccabees Los Campesinos Mystery Jets Jack Penate Cajun Dance Party Foals

Indie music is fucking awesome. As Kazumi said, they're independent of major producers. But I usually find artists and bands in the Indie genre to make very interesting and experimental music, they usually have this little unique thing over them, it's hard to explain. Sadly this might also be why indie band never become the next big thing. And not to sound smug or anything, but I appreciate different music styles, which indie is full of, and I really dislike people who just trashes a band because it doesn't sound like "Your popular "rock" band 103".

[QUOTE=Kanye West;17214095]i am loling hard at this[/QUOTE] my music is more obscure / it is better if people know it exists it sucks o lol indie means i get to act smug when you don't know what it is

I like how the term indie has lost its meaning.

[QUOTE=Kazumi;17208613]Uh, a lot of those bands aren't indie. [/QUOTE] The point was that indie is a bullshit genre, just like emo. It lost whatever meaning it originally had.
