Has music become pussified?

Indie Alternative = Also not a genre.

No stick to your pussified **** will you.

It's too vague of a term, indie can mean any genre as long as it comes from an independent label.

Neither of those terms explain any aspect of what the music sounds like.

I agree that they're vague but I think they imply certain hard to define things about the aesthetic.

I think both terms work alongside another descriptor such as "Rock" or "Country", when on their own they can't really define anything. If I said "Death Grips are an Indie band" it isn't going to help you understand what type of music they make, if anything, it will steer you in the wrong direction because of those assumptions/implications that go along with the words "indie" and "alternative".

Idk about you but i can label Guided by voices as alternative indie.

And from alternative alone i can name you R.E.M, Pavement, The Breeders, Kashmir, and even the pixies fall into this label.

I agree it's a vague term but it helps to catalogue a certain kind of music.

Groups like REM and Pixies were called college rock until the whole "alternative" marketing juggernaut came into power.
