You mean online, or in "real life"? I can't imagine coming across a person who could lay claim to liking Mirrored.

I can't imagine even running across very many people who'd heard of Battles in real life.

Online, no one actually knows about these bands irl.

^ agreed.

I think paying attention to indie bands is like working in a Siagon sweatshop, hours of hard labour involved with nothing great to show for it, except for knowing obscure bands that your freinds dont, than holding over their heads..... if anyones into that sort of thing......

but there are worse hobbies out there.....

Those of us that actually do like the music, don't mind putting effort into finding good bands...we also do it because we enjoy the music, if the people that surround us actually cared what we listen to I'd imagine we wouldn't go searching for an on-line message board in hopes of finding kindred spirits...:\

It ain't a bad hobby? What the HELL are you doing on a music message board?!!!

Wow this has become a big bitchy argument full of annoying contradictions and bickering. I forgot what the question was.
