kinggkezza your right, but this type of shit isnt new at all...
In fact, remember "Alternative"? as early as the Cure, Smiths, Depeche Mode, Skinny Puppy, NIN, etc. The big guys were selling millions of copies of "Alternative" music, when in reality it wasnt alternative to anything it was mainstream. Then came "Underground" which was marketed overground but retained it's "Underground" label.
Indie is where we are at now. Early indie bands like Pavement help transform Indie into anything but. Alas, the term "Indie" kept it's presence.
Although ironic, because the roots these types of music were born into "Alternative, Underground, and indie", they will continue to be called that just like country is county and Rock is Rock.
It's sorta like falling in love with a hooker because she fucks good.
