indie rock bands arent really mainstream, so you can go ahead and slaughter all the faggot bands you just named. and then, take a gander at saddlecreek records and team love because you havent heard real indie music if you have not heard them. If your gonna name a genere then make sure you populate it with appropriote titles.

[Ravenous]

Well yeah Kolte I whole heartedly agree, there isn't really a proper rock band in there either. But it all depends in how far you wanna go with your genres..

[kolte]

indeed.
indie means independent.....greenday is independent now eh?
I think not

three cheers for Bright Eyes

[Waiting]

lock this thread, nobodys gonna say any real indy bands are they?
tim, you know that mos people have limited knowledge of the music scene/
meh lock it or change the thread title xx

[Ravenous]

Yep I agree, but people see indie as those sort of bands, kaiser chiefs, coldplay etc. Which is wrong.
I assume he was putting green day under the rock category, well I would say they were pop punk or after the latest release possibly even just plain old pop.

[kolte]

I think:

Bright Eyes (whats not to love when it comes to those damn lyrics)
Aimee Mann
The Faint (I guess its more like, indie/rock/techno/dance...I'm not really sure)
Iron and Wine
Son Ambulance (just becasue of paper snowflakes n.n)
Now its overhead (I love skeliton on display)

[WelshLad]

oh for god sake - stop ur pathetic squabbling. i guess british indie/rock is different to american indie/rock. i know greenday is pop punk but its closer to rock than hiphop or classical or woteva. im freaking generalisng!

[kolte]

indie is independent.....the day greenday becomes an independent band is the day I love jesus. its just not gonna happen. indie......is a very narrow genere. you cant just put in rock bands because you liked them, they have to be independent bands. that means that they are from Independent record labels. I don't know any mainstream bands from indie music labels. Bright Eyes is one of the more popular indie bands out there, but like, you cant just name bands that you like, they have to be indie, unless you change the title to somthing less narrow. sorry, I'm not bothered by this, I'm just a bitch, chaow.

[WelshLad]

happy now?

[kolte]

maybe lol

[WelshLad]

any other suggestions for a title then?

[Ravenous]

Sorry Patch I missed your post last night, I was pretty fucked.
Anyway yeah I edited the title to something more appropriate.
Most bands start of indie and then when they start to get big they loose that.

[-Silence]

I thought Feeder was an old band. I have a cd of them and its dated 1997. :?

[Ravenous]

Sorry I messed up the title, I think I better stop posting for tonight...

[-Silence]

Oh! Sorry Tim. :oops:

You knows it.

No probs Heather, it was my fault.

Yeah WelshLad I am quiet particular about genres, to me its not pathetic squabbling, it is good debate.

[WelshLad]

well with rock, our lyrics consist of other words than "oh yeah baby, oh baby baby, oh yeah, oooh yeah baby baby baby yeah, i think i'm so hot"

Thta's my impression of what would happen if 50 Cent, Nelly, Bobby Valentino and some other RnB artists were to form a band

Edited by Twitcherz: Homophobic comment removed, please no more of these.

[Ravenous]

There are plenty of other words in RnB music. Also, they wouldn't form band would they. Those artists are good at the style of music they play. They are famous and they sell records so they can't be that bad.
I don't particularly like them, and you might not, but many people do.

[kolte]

I like rock, but I think that r n b music and rap have there own culture and style, i just don't listen to it, but respect it becasue millions of teen's listen and enjoy it.

[WelshLad]

what u mean homophobic comment???? i hate homophobes!!!

[Ravenous]

I like pretty much all music :D But of course Punk Rock is my favourite.
WelshLad you said something like "rap is gay" I don't remember exactly.

Yes I knew you meant it in that contest, but that is asscociating being gay with things that are bad. You are basically saying being gay are shit. That is homophobic.
My favourite bands at the moment are
The Misfits
Bad Religion
Pennywise
Anti-Flag
4ft Fingers
Millencolin

i didn't invent the word!

[Ravenous]

That is completely irrelivant.
You used the word gay as an insult. Implying that homosexuals are in some way inferior.
Why don't you just accept that what you said was homophobic and that it should not be repeated.
