I reckon indie music is considered 'cool' and 'great' because there arent enough people to listen to one band and judge it. An indie band could be as crap as the Black Eyed Peas, or whatever, but since only a small handful of people listen to it, no one can truly judge whether it's good music or not. Some of these indie musicians are just scared of becoming famous and getting criticism, hence they started this whole 'all indie is great thing'
just my opinion. Also, I agree with the Nirvana is overrated thing. They wouldnt have been so famous if Kurt didnt die.

Their legendary status would not be so high, but they were a big deal before Kurt died.

He was about to start work on a collaboration with Michael Stipe before he shot himself.

The Ramones were excellent.
Yeah their songs sounded alike, so does everything from Chuck Berry/Little Richard/James Brown/Bo Diddley/every goddamn blues musician ever/whatever. It's called having a style. The Buzzc0cks were better though. |
