My favorite genre would have to be indie.

Along those lines, my favorite artist would be Bishop Allen.

what is your favorite indie artist?

this is an impossible question for me, as indie is my love.

modest mouse, the shins, broken social scene, the unicorns, neutral milk hotel, wolf parade, sonic youth, lcd soundsystem just to name a few.

yarrr, it is confusing. indie is really any band that is on an independent record label [the arcade fire, arctic monkeys etc], but now it can include anyone who used to be on an independent label but moved to a major label but has still maintained their sound [modest mouse, death cab for cutie, snow patrol etc]

technically, indie isnt really a sound, more of an idea. even the most mainstream-sounding band can be indie. but weird-sounding bands generally go on indie labels because major labels won't sign them.

I honestly think over time the aspect of "Indie" has changed.

I found a version of their album which has the back cover in upside down and it was £5 more expensive than the others cos of that.
I was like WTH!!11

Indie is actually the one style of music I really don't like to listen to. I find it pretty boring, there's just no special thing to it.

=] Everyone has there opinions.

Like to me, Rap makes me want to party and get wasted.
Then country makes me tired.

I don't really like indie, but then it is independent for a reason.

true. but it's not the idea that has changed, more it's turned into an entire scene.

indie really isnt a sound, but sounds have come out of it. you guys in the uk think of indie as a sound like arctic monkeys and kaiser chiefs and all that jazz. but american indie is really, really, really diverse.


the thermals, ted leo and the tharmacists, cursive

<3 @ all of the above. the thermals' album from last year was my favorite album of the year.
