Well whos the one tagging Interpol , The Killers , The Hives , Kaiser Chiefs etc. etc. as indie ? There are better characteristic attributes in their music than their label..apart from the fact that they're all on major... this indie stubbornness and usage is sickening

Sorry, but I can get kind of drifted away when it comes to sorting things out =P And I can understand the use of the 'indie' tag more now, it regards the whole scene, which is different from the music genre tag 'indie rock'. I do think though, that a lot of people use 'indie' (scene) when they mean 'indie rock' (genre; which is the same as alternative rock imo); but don't tag it like that. That's why you've got bands with one load of 'indie' tags, and another load of 'indie rock' tags...

Most artists labeled as indie share a similar sound (much like bands labeled as pop do), regardless of whether they're signed to a major label or not. I don't see why people make such a big deal about it as a genre.

'Indie'=bullshit genre It should be fazed out on last.fm along with all the other stupid ass indie sub genres which people also decide they should tag the same band they just tagged indie with (indie-pop, indie-rock, etc.) If you're going to stupidly label a band indie why do you need to tag they with all these stupid ass fake sub-genres too. I'm tired of finding all of a bands tags as, Indie, Indie, Indie-rock, Indie-pop, lo-fi. I don't get why last.fm hasn't done anything about this yet. I hope this fad runs out by 2010.

On last.fm, it is common for the users to tag whatever band they feel like with indie, even century-old classical musician composers who were around when the word indie was nonexistent. As soon as a band becomes popular in the “indie crowd”, expect your beloved metal, alternative, shoegaze, electronic, rap, or band of virtually any other genre to begin being tagged as indie. There is nothing you can to stop them.

Your a moron. Pop has been a genre for decades upon decades and there is proof to show this. While indie is just a broad term for bands in a 'indie scene' or on a independant label. =/

A lot of you have issues with "indie" being referred to as a genre, yet you go ahead and use "pop" as a genre. They're polar opposites, but they represent the same idea of music consolidation. A "rock" band can be indie or pop, just like a metal/rap/etc band, but if you're going to throw a huge fit about "indie" being used, don't go on to say "indie pop" is a better example, because it's just twice the stupidity. Pop is no more a genre than indie. How about you all forget your preconceived notions of what "indie" is and accept the fact that it is now a genre. Skinnydrifter said it right, its just a way to group music, get over it.

I think Last.fm is trying to discourage the users to use tags like 'indie', 'alternative' and 'punk'. When adding a tag using the website it doesn't suggest -those- words, but words like 'alternative rock' and 'alternative metal', for instance. They are right with this, because 'indie' can be indie rock and indie pop. 'Alternative' can be alternative rock, alternative metal, alternative hip hop and alternative dance, etc. And the same goes for 'punk', there's punk rock, pop punk, post-punk, etc, etc. 'Indie', 'alternative' and 'punk' tags are just too vague..
