it's so vague and waffley what people here (uk) classify as indie - but i would say that indie and alternative music is largely music that evokes emotion, is real, usually music written by the people/person who plays/sings it. And that is so rare in today's manufactured shi*te world of music it has to be classified as 'indie'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some people would argue that bands like Oasis and Blur were the pioneers of indie. True or not they are the two biggest (British) names in that genre. I'm sure indie has a different meaning to everyone so heres mine-
Predominantly whiney vocaled guitar driven music, not heavy enough to be grunge but not light enough to be folk. Elements of rock n roll cliché with a lot of though behind it.
I thought that was rather generous as I'm not a fan of indie!

Nah, PJ is a kinda post-punk emo rock chick thing lol!
To be honest theres only two types of music- good music and shit music. Which actually means music you like and music you dont like without sounding offensive.
Genres are to general in some cases, and way off the mark in others. The music itself explains what it is without a label on it. Lordy, I do go on a bit dont I?!!
So what is PJ? If I could make up a genre (which the media frequently does) to put PJ in, it would probably be called 'Fucking Amazing'.

ps : i always sound offensive though hehehe me too! just last night my parents told me i am a snobbish little witch, i guess they might have a point.. we were in the car and my dad had this classical music station on, which i don't mind at all. but then they stared playing this wiered samba beat thing, and i really hate samba stuff... so i said something kinda nasty (shooting my mouth off as usual...) and then my folks just got pissed at me and my dissrespect for that music  but i guess everyone feels like that about some kind of music, i know how bugg just can't get enough of miss. britney  ;D |
