Moistworks is currently hosting a discussion of whether the term Indie means anything in music anymore. Some people are claiming that indie is the same thing as alt was in the nineties.

Now, I know that this isn’t the most exciting topic in the world, since none of the words actually mean anything when applied to music, but there’s actually some intelligent discussion, with authors like Jonathan Lethem chiming in. It’s an interesting post about something that I previously thought was the deadest topic in the world.

Oh shit, I forgot about Cocorosie's last album. You're right, that's totally twee-hop. Barf.
