It isn't accurate to reduce all late 80s/early 90s Indie (then called College Rock) to Grunge/Seattle scene. Plenty of Noise Rock/Pigfuck and later Post-Hardcore bands rose to prominence throughout that time period. Likewise, reducing late 2000s/early 2010s Indie to Stomp Clap Hey would be omitting so much of the actual history.For those of us who were actually there, the reality of late 2000s/2010s music was far more complex. First, people listened to and liked different things from one another. Yes, some tried to be eclectic for its own sake, but others were fairly set in what they liked and scoffed at anything outside it. Some liked Folk and/or Rock whereas others like Electronic music. Some blended all three together. Others like Rap/Hip Hop. And then, there were the revivalists. Rather than write a dissertation, I'll just link these fun little archetypes and you can draw your own conclusions as to what was going on at that time:http://www.dobi.nu/yourscenesucks/applestore/index.htmhttp://www.dobi.nu/yourscenesucks/fixedgear/index.htmhttp://www.dobi.nu/yourscenesucks/indiejesus/index.htmhttp://www.dobi.nu/yourscenesucks/williamsburg/index.htmhttp://www.dobi.nu/yourscenesucks/prehistoric/index.htmhttp://www.dobi.nu/yourscenesucks/skramz/index.htmhttp://www.dobi.nu/yourscenesucks/postrocker/index.htmAnd then, there was Twee Pop. Even though the genre's presence was receding by the 2010s, its influence could clearly be seen in movies, advertising and even music. And then, came the corporate-friendly Indie Rock music you saw in ads from bands who dropped off after the ads were pulled from circulation. I'm, of course, referring to IO Echo:https://youtu.be/yfey1U6ePughttps://youtu.be/9acrKK7mfmMhttps://youtu.be/sijSh4tMPVghttps://youtu.be/GrLR7l4qgfQhttps://youtu.be/NNUwO4GPFqg

>>131009989I'm getting really fucking sick of people using yourscenesucks as this definitive guide to music scenes. It was just a way to stereotype and make fun of local faggots at the time.Zoomers think this shit is a history book.
>>131009989>Rather than write a dissertationyou're already falling for the bait too hard, might aswell go with it
>>131010032Thing is, it's a website contemporaneous with the rise of hipsterdom. It was obviously intended as a big pisstake on the whole scene but accurately satirized what was going on. It's a shame Vice doesn't allow their website to be archived on the Wayback Machine because the Do's and Don'ts were another artifact from the same era. That was the definitive hipster magnet.

>>131009989stomp clap hey was barely "indie" in the first place. that term was used for a lot of the crappy stuff that the radio, urban outfitters and commercials were playing. it used indie aesthetics and faux folksy affectations but the actual "hipster" subcultures looked down on the lumineers and mumford and sons type crap
>>131011000>Indie Sleazethis is basically just dance punk and electroclash rebranded
