![]() And I’m not just poking at Pavement either. ![]() The sloppiness I’m describing is widespread in the Indie Rock scene. Generally speaking, Indie bands sound like amateurs, and I’m writing this post to ask the question why. Like I said, for the most part I enjoy the music that Indie bands make. I think most indie fans would respond to my criticism above by pointing out that indie musicians are putting the majority of their effort toward being artistic, original, and creative. In other words, Indie musicians focus so much on being artists that there’s no time left to be skilled instrumentalists. I think that means this discussion now becomes intertwined with the “Genre-ism” idea, because it’s unfair of me to judge a genre of music based on how I want it to sound instead of how those from within the genre intend it to sound. I get that, and like I said before, I really do like a lot of Indie bands, mainly because of the immense creativity that results from the their quest for originality.
