Indie pop

Pitchfork, a few weeks ago, had a wonderful little history of indie pop that I'm just now getting around to reading.

It's interesting to know where all this stuff that I listened to came from. The article also make an interesting point about how there are the people who embrace the scene because they want to embrace its ideals, and then there are the people who embrace the scene to be cool (and thus destroy the efforts of the former group), and then those who just hear music they like and want to hear more of it.

I tend to think I'm in the latter group.
