There are some fairly aggressive comments here… It seems that while indie kids are undebatably NOT COOL they can give one hell of a comeback… (fuck you, retard etc.)

you cant judge what you saw and say there all like that, theres no such thing as an indie kid. the genre indie all dont sound the same either. people just stereotype other people and i dont know why. i know indie artists, and i like to dress the way i like to express myself. people need to chill and get over it. life goes on. stop complaining. i dont like allot of things but theres nothing i can do about it.

First things first, this article was hilarious; and some of the people commenting don’t have a clue what they’re talking about. (I think that was actually the main reason this whole thing delighted me.) But to be fair the whole stereotyping thing amuses me. Yeah, I wear thick black glasses. I don’t go out of my way to convince people i’m so much more ‘individual’ than them. I DO listen to a lot of music that others haven’t heard of, but whatever. Y’know, I don’t even care because I like it and they can’t go plastering labels all over me just because they’re too weak-minded to keep up on track with the way people dress/dance/type and need something to remind them. But all the same, thanks for the laughs…and about three quaters of you need serious work on you’re spelling and punctuation.

I love seeing gangsta’s and bogans whinge about indie kids and emo’s - hey heres a question, does anyone ever get annoyed when a kid or even worse an adult listens to music that rhymes and so he/she thinks that they have a “ghetto” life and they they live it oh so hard on the streets and the next thing you know they form a gang of little shits who go looking for fights and one day get their heads smashed in by a normal group of people just trying to enjoy themselves . As for the bogans.. Meh go what ever you want dude your life aint going ANYWHERE. Its the people who DONT label themselves that are legends - and how can you truly know if someone is emo or indie?? I know heaps of people who have dyed their hair black and wear black clothes but aren’t actually emo - or what about the people who like the ” emo ” music but aren’t emo. Music is music - color is color, it belongs to no one.

It amuses me to see so much anger and vehemence at a simple joking article. Sure, Indie, Emo, Goth, whatever they are, some are pricks. Some are alright. In my own personal definition of the terms, I’ve never met a Goth I didn’t like, and I’ve never met an Emo I did. Indies I can take or leave. I listen to Indie music mainly, but I don’t wear the ‘uniform’. SO what? I dislike most people I’d call Emo, yeah, they sit in a corner and whine about how their girlfriend dumped them or whatever , and they cut across instead of along, the useless little feckers. Even so, I don’t get all rabid about it, and insult people on the internet for expressing a valid (if somewhat dated terminology-wise) opinion. Chill the fuck out, people.

You totally epitomised the new musical movement (indie and all that shite) good on you!! and i would say the view and fratellis are certainly in the same boat as many indie “bands”. I would also respect the music and its fans if people in bands today could actually play their instruments and write decent songs.

This is probably more of a rant towards the music rather than the fans but at the end of the day it’s all relative.

Indie Kids are the new Brady bunch. And what’s with the “The” prefix on every band name, the Killers, The View, The Feeling Etc, being done to death…

Hopefully The Plague will go on a worldwide comeback tour.

I think the fact that everyone’s getting so worked up about this is amazing. And the fact that the guy actually took the time to write about how much he hates indie kids is equally amazing. Nevertheless, I like indie music, but I hate the whole labeling thing. That’s all I have to say.

Oh geez, I feel like I should jump off a bridge for putting this much effort into this crap.

“What gives you the FUCKING right to judge indie kids when you know fuck all about them.”

First up, your punctuation’s shite.

Second up, I’ll tell you what gives me that right, you twerp. 15 years or so of writing, recording and releasing “indie” music, during which time the only major downside was clueless fuckwits like you and your insistence that you are the only people who have any right to “judge” anything, and your constant whining about being “misunderstood”. You DO know that all the bands you love would think you’re an insufferable tit because your tastes are so narrow and your worldview so embarassingly teenage, don’t you?

Go and read something worthwhile. Get your dick out of your hand. Start a band, but only when you’ve got over your “my taste is better than your taste” bullshit.

You’re going to squirm with embarassment when you think about this in 3 or 4 years.

All the people shouting at not distinguishing emo’s from indies. Read the fine print, to all the ones incaple of.

he admits that it was called indie before it was emo. so what if hes american, hes right about british emo’s and americans. chavs are a dying breed, they are not as annoying as emo kids/indie kids. BlocParty isnt that good..

as is alot of the drabble being produced across the world, no revolutionaryies. its all playing too safe.

“me and my friends dont slash our wrists and we are not lesbians or gays -_-” - no but you did just make yourself seem really young and naive. and anoying funnily enough. you want respect? take of the facade.

sorry to dissapoint. keep up the good work.

The mention of “hardcore pun [sic] bands” is the best thing on this hilarious thread. THat’s got to be one of the great “Lost Consonants”.

Love this site. Hate spotty illiterate teenagers on musical and sexual wankathons who think their taste in music is “better than” rather than “different from” everyone else’s. Used to be one myself, in fact. Wash yer hair. Buy “Marquee Moon” and “Relationship of Command”. Drink less Red Bull. Eat vegetables. Oh, and while you’re about it, fuck off out of my face you ghastly little greaseballs, and go and annoy your wish-they-were-suicidal-but-to-busy-being-onanist friends with your feckless dribblings about stuff you know jackshit about.

No - really.

FUCK OFF. We all know you you were buying Westlife singles ’til last year when your first bumfluff appeared.

Come on people…

you seem surprised that musical subcultures don’t see eye to eye. Anyone could whip up one of these articles defining the negative points of metalheads, emos, chavs, anyone. Enjoy your own music, let people have their opinions. It’s not like they’re stopping you listening to the music you love is it?

I’d be classed as indie (I suppose), and it pains me that the majority of those who feel that it’s up to them to defend indie..ism are clearly ’scene’ kids.

This is just one (well, two) guys opinions, and it’s up to amuse those who share that opinion. It wouldn’t be funny if it wasn’t stereotypical…

“Never judge people”
“you are gay”
“Who ever wrote this article is obviously a chav.
And chavs are the sort of people you should worry about”

Should we be particularly worried about gay chavs? Without judging them, obviously.

Never judge people, you are gay.
I am indie and there is one comment that says that indies are bitchy and i am not bitchy and i dont have glasses let alone thick ones and i am not obbsessed with myself.
Who ever wrote this article is obviously a chav.
And chavs are the sort of people you should worry about
