		<description>Thats funny, because a great indie song writer,Conor Oberst, was given the title of best song writer for 2008(along with some other years. Though he doesn&#039;t really take it as a big compliment nor was especially proud of it, it goes to show that you&#039;re Mainstream music/Media does see indie as good. Go listen to Jeffrey Lewis &amp; The Junkyard. Next you should start gay bashing and become a racist bigot, because thats how ignorant you sound when I read this.</description>

		<description>I completely agree with you.  Indie music is the worst.  Usually, even if I don&#039;t like a genre of music, I can still understand why some people may like it; not so with Indie music.

The singers are awful.  They can&#039;t hit notes, and it&#039;s recorded with a pseudo 70s fake analog distortion that sounds awful.

The guitarists.  Awful.  I&#039;ve played guitar for the last 15 years and somehow after my 2nd month of instruction when I was 9 years old I was already better than all the indie band guitarists.  They&#039;re terrible.  Hey let&#039;s play one chord for an entire song.  HOW DO PEOPLE NOT GET BORED FROM THIS???

The compositions.  Atrocious.  Now, songs don&#039;t have to be complex to be good.  Indie music just plain fails here.  Sometimes, even if everyone in a band sucks, and the recording quality sucks, at least you can say &quot;well, that was a good song from a theoretical standpoint&quot; but you can&#039;t do that with indie music.

It has no redeeming features.  None.  At least with a band like Children of Bodom, you can say &quot;well, the vocals are hard to listen to, but they&#039;re phenomenal technicians and their music is well composed.&quot;  At least with Christian Aguilera you can say &quot;well, she has great control of her voice even if she has to sing that crappy pop music.&quot;  But with indie music you can&#039;t say any of that because no parts of it are good.  None of them.  The only good part of an indie song is when it&#039;s over.</description>

		<description>This doesn’t change the fact that Noel and Liam aren’t fit to keep track of Paul McCartney’s bodily fluids, much less lay claim as a better band.
----------------------------------
That&#039;s why McCartney said he like&#039;s Oasis and has worked with Noel on the warchild album.

As you nerds say, epic fail.</description>
