Indie Music comment
 

Did anyone else get a bit confused when she said there was a new trend in music sweeping the country?

Indie music became big in the late 1980's early 1990's didnt it????:conf:

She says 'cool' I say 'following the crowd'. :tongue:

You may be right there..... :laugh:

I agree..... where has she been?

It's a new age of Indie, the 80's and 90's wern't exactly spectacular for producing Indie bands but now... theres loads emerging every year! Meaning more and more people are getting into it then before.

So leave Emily alone you big meanie.

I think it was just one of those comments where it wasnt intended the way it was said.

I think she just meant it was starting to become really popular now.

Oh come on.... Supergrass, Blur, Elastica, The Smiths, Pulp, Charlatans, Radiohead, Stone Roses, Suede and The Verve

How can you say they werent spectacular???

:laugh::thumbs:

Not the bands. And I didnt say they werent spectacular:puzzled:

The whole genre of indie has only just started to be achknowledged fact. Course its an genre which has been round for ages, but its only just begun being a popular genre.

Ummm no way,from about 92-98 indie was pretty big.

brit-pop was Indie

Yes, you say 92-98, its 07!
Its started to become popular again.

But it isnt new

I didnt say it was new:rolleyes:
I said :

I don't understand the fuss over two little comments she made about this TBH :puzzled:
Could someone please explain!

no need to take Karma off me :joker:

and soph,its just somthing picked up with the fake vibe she was giving off.

:shocked: I didn't!!

I'm not saying there crap, just different to what it is now. You can't exactly see thousands of people jumping up and down to the 'drugs don't work' can you! There was little life and energy in Indie back then with the exception of the odd band.

Oh I know its come around and there is new life back but what I was trying to say that indie is hardly new.

Its quite a general statement to make, indie music has been around for decades

she dont even no what indie means

it about independent music

Its alright mate I gave you some!! Haha.

Emily was so patronising tonight.

I dont think she was. She was just asking someone her age.

OMG your right it did become in the 1980's im learning it for GCSE music =]]

Its her only mistake. Shes young and impressionable, so what, she likes soft pop rock, it doesnt make her a bad person.

She got it wrong but its hardly a big issue.

I was only making a comment on it...... that what a forum is all about.... discussing housemates, what they look like, what they say and do.

Exactly, it comes with every housemate! Even Sam Heuston :lovedup:
