The Indie Education Thread (lyrics, singer, depeche mode, electronic, alternative)

It's weird, I love "Indie" music and I wish it was mainstream so that most people I meet I could actually have a decent discussion about music with, rather than them telling me their favorite band is "The Weekend" or "Kesha"

The fact that Ed Sheeran got popular makes me happy, as long as he doesn't change his sound too much. The problem is that once most "Indie" bands go mainstream they change their sound--I'm looking at you, Kings of Leon--So they are no longer Indie. However if an "Indie" band switches to a new label and maintains their sound, I still refer to it as Indie music.
