Possibly the ****tiest genre ever.

the bad stuff is really boring and there’s just no need to ever listen to it

but ofc there is good **** out there if ya look hard enough

I dont even know what classifies as indie rock and what doesn't

Like I've seen bands like My Bloody Valentine classified as a subgenre of indie rock. It goes without saying that they have put out some pretty killer material

My favorite band of all-time, The Replacements, is found in the "origins" section on the Indie Rock page on Wikipedia. Obviously I think they're fantastic

But then there's of course crap like Bright Eyes or Death Cab for Cutie and all that nonsense. I just feel this thread is too broad

It is, but then so is the hip-hop one. And the prog one. And the classical one. I don't know enough about indie rock to know the different subdivisions of it, the subgenres. If you want to suggest one or more, I can pencil them in for future threads, unless everyone's already bored enough by the inclusion of indie rock as it is?

The only people who like indie rock as a genre are boring, milquetoast, white people because it's made by people so bland that they can't relate to anyone else.

Like indie in general, or when applied to pop or whatever, it's very broad. I can't really say anything about it that wouldn't be a crude generalization.

Generalize crudely or **** off from MB.
You've been here long enough to know how this works.
