The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face…liike as in the Roberta Flack song?

i agree that it used to mean something more specific and now it is a lazy broad stroke term used mostly incorrectly.

Buuut…even when it did mean something, it was still pretty much bullshit. An independent artist (as in, not signed) didnt necessarily sound like another unsigned artist just because they were unsigned….so it was always a pretty lazy overgeneralized term.

it can be said that even though it doesnt mean the artist is actually unsigned, one can draw an “idea” of what kind of music is being referred to as “indie rock.” not very specific but it surely still points to genre/style/composition references, whether it’s true to what the word “independent” actually means.

and while we’re on the subject….jazz may be more easily measured than other genres but a ton of genres have since evolved to encompass a wide spectrum of stuff that isnt so easily measured anymore. “pop”, “electronic”, “alternative”, “ambient”, etc. etc. etc are pretty terribly thrown around and rightly so…people care too much to use quick terms to label music and dont try hard enough to actually describe it. conversely, it’s almost a necessary convenience

TIME?

yeah, tell me about it. it’s even harder with Jessica Simpson’s dick in your mouth.

I’m really excited, too dude – wait a fucking second…does that say robot dogs? Ahh comon, Wayne…I love you but again with more robots??

Commence the listening
