Indie who?


Please don’t use the word ‘indie’ ever again. Because in 99,9% of cases you have no idea what the fuck you are talking about. I don’t know either. And nobody does.

Open the latest issue of a music magazine:

Indie-rock. Indie-pop. Indie-funk-rock. Indie-country. Indie-folk. Indie-polka. Indie-hard-rock. Indie-Russian-folk. Indie-bubblegum-pop. Indie-punk-rock. Indie-roots-rock. Indie-pop-punk.

I give up. This goes on and on and on. 

So please don’t. The word has been abused more than a porn movie actress. And even if you are that 0,01% and think you know the deal – don’t use that word anyway. Because chances are – you still don’t know what the fuck you are talking about. I don’t know either. And nobody does.
