i love asobi seksu, but apparently they hate being put in the shoegaze genre. i can only wonder why.

Are you ok with "dream pop"? To some extent, I consider the two genres interchangable. Anyway, no real shoegazer would use the term shoegaze since that's NME coined bullshit or something. Honestly, I don't care - I love the word.

I'm not a huge fan of genrefying things, and I refuse to label anything "indie"... a catch all term for people who shop at UO and know nothing about music except for what their friends tell them to download from bittorrent. Well, I guess I'm kinda doing the same asking for recommendations from the SuFutuarians...

I don't mind labelling. "dream pop" definitely suits Asobi Seksu, but it'ts all subjective. I don't mind labelling things "indie" either, I like distinguishing from "indie pop" and like.. avril lavigne "pop". Not that there is a distinctive sound that qualifies as "indie" but it's not such much what it is, rather what it isn't... nevermind, i'm just rambling.

I'm listening to their shit on myspace.. I wish the guy's voice was a bit softer. the gir'l's voice is pretty nice though
