Re: Does indie rock all sound the same?

"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
