Walmart or Indie, they all wear a uniform at some level and are comforted by their knowledge.

You gotta realize that these are folks that take pleasure in knowing bands that no one else knows regardless of the quality (which is most often suspect). I still think Arcade Fire sucks though Shitfork (I like that!) anointed them the second coming of the Beatles. They're the kids who got made fun of a lot in school and didn't become cops, they stayed the nerds they always were.

Meanwhile, others have to namecall and feel intimidated just because they are unfamiliar with the bands and/or music being discussed. Sure, 98% of the time Pitchfork is up its own arse, but I have a feeling you don't actually know the people you are trying to disparage here. And having checked out your tunes, you could use a tad more Arcade Fire and a tad less Beatles (and a tad less pictures of yourself, but that's whole 'nuther matter!).

I was a nerd and I am still a nerd and don't listen to that indie crap! They should listen to real music like Tori, Kylie, Cure, Kate, Prince...

Mike not sure if you would agree but Tori,Cure, Kate, and even Prince were considered indie at one time.

Yes I agree some people love to have new groups all the time, but I don't knock anything until I listen to it for a full week in the car. As long as you do the same before knocking them, you and I are on the same page.

Happy Holidays

indie, major label, DIY, whatever. if you like what you hear, then you like it, it's as simple as that.

if you discovered a hot new band on pitchfork the music is STILL just as good as if you discovered it at the mall or from your mom or if it fell out of a tree and hit you on the head. what's the difference?

and NEWSMOTHERFUCKINFLASH: *ALL* pop music media is obnoxious!!!!

bitchfork. rolling stone. spin. emptyvee. there's no periodical guide to popular modern music that exists that has any substantial sense of intelligence and humility, because WHO WOULD BUY IT?! well, i might, but i learned a long time ago that any demographic i could fit into isn't gonna win any kind of marketing survey.

but if one of those lame-ass magazines or cable channels or web sites leads you to something you love to listen to, then to hell with it. thank 'em and move on.

OH! and indie rock boys might be overbearing, pretentious, patronizing and emotionally impenetrable...but DAMN they're cute with their tight little t-shirts and sloppy hair. i hope they never grow up.
