is indie dead?

once upon a time
many years ago
in 2k4-7
there was a music genre called 'indie'
ur band was 'indie'
if no1 knew who u were
u played in garages & basement bars
singing meaningful anthems or luv songs
abt 'being in luv' or 'feeling lost & confused'
or 'smoking dank' or 'death' or 'being a robot'
u released ur albums on vinyl
ur band comprised:
-4 rich white bros /
-2 white college bros w/a synthesizer /
-3 white bros & a some keut grl /
-10+ white bros & grls /
& u were relevant
& u were authentic
& the only ppl who listened 2u
were the ppl who really 'got it'
& zach braff & wes anderson used u
for their meaningful movies
& everything was meaningful
& u were happy
2 be alt
1 of these bands was called
'The Arcade Fireses' or 'Arcade Fire'
they sang the songs of a generation
of jaded, anxious formative alts
they sang abt 'family' & other meaningful shit
their songs expressed how u were feeling
'yeah, i really get this band' u said
'& they really get me'
& u went to an arcade fires concert
& every1 was like
'ahhh-aahhh-aaahhhh-aaahhh-ah-ohhh-ahhh-
000hhhhhh-000000hhhh-ahhhh'
really vibing out 2 some meaningful vibes
& the world seemed like a better place
& then there was some spike jonez movie trailer
'where the wild bros go'
& u thought 2 urself
'yes, nostalgic images of youth +
a meaningful indie soundtrack that only
me + my closest alt bros will understand =
pure alternative gold'
but then the movie sucked
& u went home afterward
& watched the trailer on utube
over & ovr again
& cried
& then some album came out called
'the suburbs of america suck'
& there was some song
called 'suburb sprawl of america part 5'
that seemed like it had ok lyrics
but then some lady with an awful voice was singing it
& every1 was like 'this is awful'
& then the album won
'best ever music album by humans ever'
& it seemed like
every alt thing we had been living 4
every alt thing we had worked 4
every p4k album review we 'read'
every hour we spent in front of our macbooks
was a waste
was a lie
was dead
indie was dead
indie was dead
indie was dead
there is no more indie
i lived 2 see the death
of indie
how can a band that wins
the highest mnstrm achievement award
be indie?
indie is dead
indie is dead
how can this awful music
b considered 'good' by anybody?
arcade fire
killed indie
this is a nightmare
indie is dead
this is just a bad dream
indie is dead
i'm sleeping
indie is dead
how can will i cope
in a post-indie world?
how can i b alt
if alt=mnstrm?
nothing makes sense anymore
indie is going mnstrm
buzzbands r going mnstrm
indie is dead
indie is dead
arcade fire
killed indie
indie
is dead

help

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
did yall watch the grammies?
have yall heard of arcade fires?
will arcade fire win an academy award/pulitzer/nobel peace prize?
when did u 'discover' the arcade fire?
when did arcade fire go mnstrm?
did arcade fire kill indie?
did regine kill indie?
did p4k kill indie?
did blogs kill indie?
did facebook kill indie?
did alts kill indie?
did mnstrmrs kill indie?
will indie ever 'rise from the ashes' [via TOMBOY?]
did u like 'the wild bros go wild'?
why does all music suck?
how do i stay indie in a post-indie world?
how do i stay alt in a post-alt world?
