Shit Talk Indie-Alt-Cult-Etc.

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.

that moistworks post is the best piece of college-alt-indie rock nostaligia i've read in a long time.
and now i want a new amsterdam and a falafel before a yung wu show at maxwell's.
but i missed the last PATH.
Professor Blake Schwarzenbach! Class is in session, punks.
But what is "twee"?
And when are we gonna see, God forbid, Twee-Hop?
"And when are we gonna see, God forbid, Twee-Hop?"
CocoRosie? Why??
Oh shit, I forgot about Cocorosie's last album. You're right, that's totally twee-hop. Barf.
