Tell her its music from India
Everybody likes sitars and finger tambourines.
She initially thought this actually...
tell her when she finds out to email me and tell me what indie is
seriously
It was simpler in my day
indie is the name of the bands that you wrote in tipex on your DMs.
this should explain..

ask Amy the quirky vinyl collector
from that website that everyone was on about ages ago, i've forgotten it!
Switch?
the one mentioned in the thread above yours?
this is a very simple exlanation

There are only 4 groups of indie "tribes"
It's the new "in" thing
that all the kids are listening to.
I'm not an indie anymore!
YEsss
It was mentioned a minute before,
sorrrrrry.
if she ever subscribed to britannia music
it would be ocean colour scene and the lightning seeds.
a cross between punk, guitars and grunge

your a fuckwit
* you're a fuckwit
;P
*gunge
*clunge
tell her
indie is not a genre, it's A STATE OF MIND
amirite?
give her all the possible explanations
to confuse her even more.
Isn't it short for Indepenent Music
Although most of the stuff that is now classes as indie is mainstream - e.g Pigeon Detectives, Razorlight, Killers etc....
To me (and i'm only speaking for myself here) it now seems to mean bands such as the above who play guitars but are not quite 'rock'as such
pop bands
sorry
IT'S A LIFESTYLE, MAN
Well, technically...
Hi, my first ever post, I feel it should be something brilliantly witty and caustic, but I think there is a (possibly fairly boring) answer to this, namely, "indie" means two things:
(i) originally: Music released on independent (non-major) record labels, and thus music not created primarily for commercial gain (NB. this definition isn't based on the actual sound of the music).
(ii) music which sounds (a tiny bit) like (some of) the music denoted by the above definition used to sound before (choose your cut-off point, say) 1992 when indie music went mainstream and thus became ripe for commercial exploitation by mainstream record labels who conciously marketed it as "indie", thus, of course, entirely undermining its coherence and usefulness as a definition.
Does that help? I fear not... I'm not quite sure who Jack Penate is - I've heard the name - I'm pretty sure he's not indie though ;-)
yes
we all know all of this.
don't be so rude
can't you see he's trying to fit in
The thing is...
...that I'm really not sure everyone does - imagine that you're 14, having grown up in an era where EMI darlings Coldplay are "indie", and Rolo Tomassi are anything but, then it's about as obscure as trying to work out the etymology of "Canary" <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canary#Etymology>
hello
everyone one on her is a git
including me!
welcome though, its all fun and games anyway.
here not her
All is full of love
I'm really feeling it guys. The fuzzy warm glow of acceptance :)
luckily
it's in the observer today
indie
is the new boybands
hmm
when she says "what does 'indie' mean" just reply "it meants im better than you"
^^^^
FYI I also like to shout this at the point of orgasm.
reply thus
'I wonder what an indie band would say a 'Mum' was'?
This question will confuse her enough to buy you time to flee.
Keane
Razorlight
My mum claims all indie is like Bob Dylan
but shit.
Anything not on a major label
or 'indie' label owned by a major, eg: Transgressive, DTTR, etc.
It doesn't really mean guitar music anymore, as all guiter 'indie' is mass-produced major label shit.
Oh, and that Amy girl is a cunt.
i dont know but its sweeping the nation
