What's so hard to understand that indie (refering to sound) is other?

Isn't indie (rock, pop, whatever) just one of the many branches of alternative rock?

lol no indie is not a sound. Things like mtv and even pitchforkmedia put that name out there as any band thats rock and not horribly mainstream...even though some of them are such as death cab or bright eyes.

Wha, I thought Bright Eyes was indie? Or is Saddle Creek a major label now?

Anyway, technically indie is a genre because a genre is a group linked together by whatever that connects them. Most things are genres, deal.

Plus someone could like independent rock you know.

I forgot bright eyes was still on saddle creek haha.

indie isn't a genre of music. It's not a specific sound. It's far far far too vague.

Conor Oberst sort of owns Saddle Creek, donchaknow?

Personally, I like instrumental indie rock like Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Ghosts and Vodka.
