that literally makes no sense at all. please tell me why you think that indie is dead, because i really dont get where you are coming from.
95% of the bands I listen to are indie.
Indie is not a genre.
Seriously what a useless thread, it's like you're trying so hard to be so hip.

[QUOTE=Bamfan;37273034]6. Interpol[/QUOTE]
Interpol are signed to Capitol Records, Capitol Records is a major label. So they are not 'indie' rock.
yeah i listen to fleet foxes i'm such a hipster
usually the only stuff with indie rock stylings is the incredibly miserable weepy slowcore stuff because [I]i'm a ray of sunshine[/I]
I quite like Radiohead and The Smiths.
They're pretty obscure though, you have probably never heard of them.

Low, Red House Painters, Carissa's Wierd and S all rule.
A slowcore band that doesn't make you hold back tears is a bad slowcore band.

Also known as "GOD WE FUCKING LOVE PAVEMENT"
What.
Most slowcore bands have nothing to do with Pavement as far as their sounds go.
Pavement aren't even miserable or weepy, they're just cooly detached and angsty.
Pavement's p. good though.

i don't think anyone who met me ever would believe that one of my favourite albums is The Black Heart Procession's debut album. Pretty sue that if there was an award for overflowing with soppy bullshit it'd win it.
also Codeine and Arab Strap. Pretty much the perfect soundtrack to being a mopey really middle class arts student (if you still count history as an art)

Only heard The White Birch from Codeine, thought it was nothing special.

thats a nice list of bands noone knows of thanks
Mumford and Sons aren't indie are you nuts
and no Stereolab??? i oughta kill everyone
I don't mean indie as in independent, wtf. You guys should realize indie is also a REALLY WIDE GENRE.
Also, if I just posted a bunch of obscure, I'm sure for the most part I wouldn't be able to relate my musical tastes with others. So there. If you want "obscure bands" try these:
Emperors
The Fabergettes
Blackchords
Jakarta Criers
Money for Rope
Bad Dreems
The Preachers
Art of Sleeping

It isn't.
[QUOTE=Calkkuna;37311101]It isn't.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, it kinda is. There's a fuckload of indie bands, indie has pretty much become a mainstream genre nowadays. There's not only the "sound" although I can't really describe it, but there's also independent bands.
A genre is used to describe a certain sound a band has. 'Indie' doesnt really have it's own sound. An indie punk band sounds completely different from an indie folk band.

That's kind of what I'm trying to say. Indie is a really wide genre, but indie doesn't just mean independent.
I think we can all agree Big Black is the best indie pop band ever.

Just looked them up, not bad, not bad.
I think what I really got out of this thread was a reminder of how boring fleet foxes are
Describing something as indie is about as useful as calling it classical. It tells you enough about it to show a rough area, but really it tells you absolutely nothing
this thread is so fucking pleb

Nice! I think I heard "Helicopter" first, then YT'd them and found Banquet, which I believe is their best.
Bloc Party are the shit.
