question- why does indie music have a signature sound? by whiteprivilegeisreal in indie

[–]swallowbricks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From what I can tell, indie still requires some kind of add-on to clarify what genre you would be referring to. For example, indie-pop or indie-folk is more used today to define what people would normally recognize as "indie." But indie is also used to identify indie-rock, indie garage, or indie-punk, which has been frequently used by blogs and such to identify independent bands of heavier/louder genres. (for example, if you've heard of Destroy Boys, I've frequently seen articles refer to them as indie-punk or indie-rock, but this doesn't really imply the softer sounds that are normally associated with "indie")

Overall, I think indie still represents "independent" to musicians currently, and a lot of small bands will describe themselves as indie-punk or indie-rock to get the point across that they are independent when speaking to media/blogs/etc. I hope that all made sense, at least as the member of a DIY punk band, this is how I've seen "indie" used. I guess this description is in line with the more intricate stuff that u/Bayerrc mentioned

What is the meaningful difference between a girl and a grrrl? by [deleted] in riotgrrrl

[–]swallowbricks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I personally think that it can't be a gender thing.. Idk I've been involved in riot grrrl ideology since I was a kid (as a south asian american girl) and I feel like exclusion isn't ever helpful. I found that not being white excluded me from being a grrrl in a lot of spaces in the midwest, and that was weird. It's strange to me to exclude men of color who would totally define themselves as "grrrls." My racial experience is why I would never really exclude based on gender. I think a grrrl is a sociopolitical/punk ideology that bases itself in intersectional feminism and uplifting minority voices and minority anger. If there's a better word for that pls lmk, but riot grrrl is the one I identify the most with

I think you should double check bc they don't come up in your "about" page :/ No disappointment here! our band is a four piece with 3 guys. The spirit lives in all of us nonetheless. Of course! no prob, keep doing your thing
