Yeah... I have people tell me that they hate indie because they don't like the Libertines, Babyshambles, etc. I wish people really understood the concept of indie!!! In my mind the word "indie" is not the name of a genre but rather a concept including music by artists that intentionally try to stray from the mainstream. Copying a couple other bands and having a bunch of teenage girls screaming at your concerts does not make you an "indie" band. The term really should be used to describe independent music, not any specific genre.
And loose lips, so true. The thing that I don't understand is how that's determined. I mean, people just need to give music a chance. Who cares if it's weird in the eyes of MTV or any of that crap? They hardly even play music videos anymore...
