Re: Does indie rock all sound the same?

[(Anonymous)]

You mean if it's homogenous

and yeah indie rock does tend to have a pretty similar sonic palate and similar sensibilities. although I would say it's a little different across time periods (that is, indie rock from the 90s or whatever is going to be kind of different from stuff that's coming out now) - but even then, it still shares a lot of the same basic aesthetic sensibility.

IDK man, if it's not for you it might just not be for you. What bands in particular have you checked out so far?

"You mean if it's homogenous"

Yeah, that's what I meant. Please excuse my stupid.

I can't even remember the names of any of the bands (except Vampire Weekend, but only because I thought that was a great name for a band). They all sort of blur together into one big blob of whiny-voiced singers and pretentious lyrics.

Yeah, I don't know, it might just not be for you.

There's definitely things that aren't exactly like Vampire Weekend and that draws from a different sonic pallet, but I don't really know if it's ultimately going to eliminate your issues (especially re: lyrics). There's stuff that's less pretentious and... uh... weak, if that makes sense, and that goes in more psychedelic and druggy or more hard directions with more of a "lo-fi" punk sensibility, or more chill directions influenced by surf music and shit like that, I guess. Like, uh, Thee Oh Sees and... uh... other bands whose names I can't remember sorry I realize I am not helping you out much here with this but I have a bad memory for band names and I got rid of a bunch of shit when I switched computers

and you could always look for things with female vocalists that might be different

but at the end of the day, basically, yeah, most indie rock comes from a fairly homogenous social set w/ fairly homogenous aesthetic ideals so there's going to be a certain amount of commonality
