Pointless piece of spam, but what the heck? For anyone who likes indie music. 🙂

\<br\>You’re just too cool for school, aren’t you? You’re pretty narrow minded  
and opinionated with regards to music (and probably most other things  
as well). But you’re allowed to be, because you really \<i\>are\</i\> better  
than everyone else. You take pride in obscurity.  
You probably prefer vinyl too, you elitist \*\*\*\*\*.

\<br\>You are so indie it hurts. You hang out with the coolest people in your city. It doesn’t even bother  
you that none of them know your name. You know lots of bands personally, you know a couple of  
guys from We Hate The Mainstream Records, and you blag your way into getting almost  
everything for free. That fanzine you write gives you extra kudos. You probably don’t

crap. I don’t like being defined like this.

god… that’s so true :beam:

I don’t think mine was really too accurate. I’m more like Kit’s. Indie snob. I _think_ I’m cool but in my heart of hearts I know…

Heh, but mine says that I \<i\>am\</i\> cool. 🙂

And what’s this I hear about Evanescence being #1 in the chart? Doesn’t that go against every principle of indie music? 😛

…snob…

Although I will admit to being irritated when a band I like gets a hit.  
It really got out of control with the Frames. Now I can barely listen to them.

I’ve noticed that the bands I like tend to have albums that sell well rather than singles. They aren’t just one hit wonders. 🙂

With a few notable exceptions. 😛 Anyone remember Rialto? 🙂

No actually.  
Yeah. It’s tormenting when a band you were listening to solidly 6 months ago turns up all over your local “alternative” radio show. Next thing the girl in front of you on the bus is singing one of their songs.

Indie is a state of mind, not a type of music. So indies will have you believe anyway.  
So is punk I suppose.

hmm, good answer.:thumb:

I hate it when people try to categorize me anyway. All the kids in my area call me a ‘goth’ cos my hair is red. The people at work call me a punk cos i wear a denim jacket with patches on it. That stupid test think im indie because i read ‘Q’ and love cartoon network. And my mates call me a geek becuause i know how to use a computer.

grrr, i just want to be different (like everyone else).
