I think the success of a pop star today...
is gauged by how retarded of a reaction you get out of people. Whether the reaction is positively or negatively, causing people to go in an irrational love or hate feel for you is the way to go. If you don't believe me, go to any Justin Bieber video on Youtube and just look at the comments. I apologize in advance to the wonderful people on this forum who brain cells are killed by the sheer stupidity of it all.

What indie bands do you consider douchey? I just don't get the point of leaving hateful comments on videos of people you don't like. In today's day and age, it's pretty easy to avoid any type of music you dislike. Anyone who says otherwise is lying.

I will disagree with the last 2 sentences. When a song gets big it ends up being used when news and talk shows cut to commercial. It's used in big scenes in tv shows. It's used in movie trailers. It's blasted on every 5th car radio with the volume way too high. It's being played by a group of teenagers singing along with it at the food court in the mall. It's used in every other commercial.







Three examples of songs off the top of my head that were fucking everywhere when they were on the charts. Didn't even have to go into huge offenders like NSYNC, Justin Bieber or Britney Spears.

I see what you mean, but let's face it. Artists who usually a song like that overplayed typically get the one-hit wonder treatment. The song becomes overexposed and the artist can't reclaim the same effect. No one cares about the three women you listed as examples. I doubt people today don't have alternative means to not hear music they don't like. Plus, do you hate their songs so much that you would actively search for videos of them and nasty comments about the artists and their fans? Not to judge you personally, but I find that to be a waste of time

If that's true whatsoever, these would be three really poor examples to try and use to support such a theory.

Pavement, Grizzly Bear and Deerhunter are a good start.

I specifically disagreed with the last 2 sentences. I think people who take the time to shit on the video in the comments section are tools. I'm just saying songs that explode in popularity (whether you like them or not) are very difficult to avoid.

The radio formats, yes. The advertisements, which all 3 are still featured in, not so much. Plus, they've all become Muzak staples, so you're likely to get blasted with any of the 3 when grocery shopping or awaiting your next root canal.

That's exactly it. The casual music fan doesn't even care about musicianship or talent. As long as a song has a catchy hook or lame one liner, it's all good with them.

His gimmick is being Kane Knight, really. Except he likes dance music. But otherwise, I mean, he's anti smark, anti indie, and loves the cock.

Catchy music is fine and all, but I hate hearing a song 35 times a day.

It also helps when it's legitimately catchy.

Up until a couple years ago, I thought indie music just meant musicians working with an independant record label.

Seemed kind of silly to make it it's own genre. I know there is a certain sound, and characteristic that is shared by a lot of indie bands, but I can go on my ipod right now, and find just as many bands with the indie label, that sound completely different.

Don't really care for calling that stuff "indie rock" anyway. When I put stuff on my ipod I file proggresive rock, indie rock, hard rock, alternative rock, etc under one category. Rock. Because that is what it is. And I love rock.

Stupid hipsters, and their sub-sub-sub-genreing.

By definition, it still does. Along the way, however, people stopped caring about the definition and figured it was a good catch-all way to categorize damned near anything that isn't ridiculously mainstream.

It could be worse. It hasn't been all that long since some of the most mainstream music on the planet was most commonly referred to as "alternative". I dare say that's even dumber than referring to artists with 6 figure guarantees from Sony independent.

Fuck it, if it sounds good, I'm listening. I really only classify it to share music. Apparently, I'm the guy to go to to get people into new music around these parts.

The worst thing is how many of these so-called "indie" bands are on fairly large labels and overshadow legit independent bands.

But naturally, it's part of the "indie" appeal, so....

Personally, I leave whatever the tags are on my music unless they're horribly wrong. Like if somehow Judas Priest ended up under showtunes.

Yeah, seeing The Yeah Yeah Yeahs listed as indie, kind of confused me at the time.

Sometimes I like to just put my ipod on a genre and let it go. Unfortunately, stuff I get is almost always wrong, or there is nothing at all.

Part of the reason I hate sub-genres. More work for me.
