The Smiths inventing indie is a pretty wack take.

They didn't even invent jangle pop.

Is indie a distinct genre? I've seen that term applied to such a wide swath of rock music, from Sonic Youth to Stereolab to Beck to Neutral Milk Hotel to Bright Eyes to LCD Soundsystem. I honestly think filing bands under "indie" isn't an adequate way to actually denote their musical characteristics.

Indie just became the catch all term for bands on independent labels who couldn't be put into other categories and even when those artists joined major labels the term stuck.

So no it's not really a genre, most of the "subgenres" are vastly different styles that just happen to fall under the indie umbrella because they have no place else to go.

But I stopped watching Punk Rock MBA's videos cause he seemed like a basic bitch. Like, he seems to think DIY is supposed to be an individualist boot straps concept and that is painfully lame. He did get me on to slam death metal though so it wasn't a total waste of my time.
PRMBA just stinks of conservatism.

Clout and argument starting

I guess that makes sense.

I thought he would be ok at first because the first video I ever saw from him was mocking Kid Rock which is an activity I can fully get behind, but then I watched a few more videos and realized how sh*tty his taste in music is, and then I learned about how much of a reactionary he is.

He dresses like someone from Prager U trying to be hip with the kids, that should have been the first red flag.

It's a pleasure to read such a robust condemnation of R.E.M.

I have been curious, disappointed and puzzled by this group. Why are they so highly thought of? There's a clip on youtube with a guy explaining for 18 mins why Losing My Religion is a "song that changed music". I couldn't find anything in the song to justify that claim at all. To me it was just a ho-hum song, conventional structure and instrumentation, with (yet again) a young man over-sharing some angst I'm not interested in.
