Could someone please explain to me what exactly defines "Indie Rock"?

[implicit]

I know I'm an old person now because, when reading "indie rock," I immediately thought Pavement, Sonic Youth, and so on.

[vanilla.]

Indie rock is a genre of alternative rock that primarily exists in the independent underground music scene. Indie rock musicians are typically unsigned, or have signed to independent record labels, rather than major record labels. Genres or subgenres often associated with indie rock include lo-fi, post-rock, sadcore, C86, and math rock, to list but a few; other related (and sometimes overlapping) categories include shoegazing and indie pop. Indie rock artists place a premium on maintaining complete control of their music and careers, releasing albums on independent record labels (sometimes their own) and relying on touring, word-of-mouth, and airplay on independent or college radio stations for promotion. Some end up moving to major labels, often on favorable terms won by their prior independent success.

These videos introduced me to alot of new bands, Vincent Moon (did The National and Arcade Fire's movies) goes around filming bands play their songs in weird locations acoustically. Beirut, Sigur Ros, Fleet Foxes are my personal favourites.

As for bands, if you like Broken Social Scene I recommend checking out The Arcade Fire and Wolf Parade. Right now I'm really feeling Grizzly Bear and Fleet Foxes.

The Knife is more electronic than 'indie rock' to me though.

What's the difference between 16 year old hipsters and 15 year old hipsters.

damn people getting mad over my age.

this topic is for music (if you didn't see)

If you don't like indie why would you post here, this is obviously something for people who enjoy it.

any questions can be sent via private message.
