Why I Like Indie Music

I've always found it kinda lame when I really like a band that's super mainstream.

Not when other people like that band, no, only when I liked it.

Sure, I like a bunch of bands that everybody knows and all that jazz - but it's because everyone knows them that I feel lame as fuck when I say I like them.

That's where indie music comes in.

Because, in reality, how many people will you meet who know who Brasstronaut is, or The Pigeon Detectives, or The Vaccines?

And when they say they've never heard of them, for those two seconds, I feel like I'm not so lame.

....Is this how hipsters work? Cos if so, I understand ya, buddy.
