It should be illegal to publish this kind of thing under the Pitchfork masthead unless they bring back all the jewish guys with allegations in the editorial team that made these lists carry weight in the first place.

Yeah they may have called it "low energy songs that suck."

It's predictable they put a record at #2 from an artist no one cares about and said yeah it was because of her political impact, i.e. feminism. Wow!

The idea that indie is basically low energy folk music with quirky lyrics is idk an odd definition. I consider, you know, Animal Collective to be indie but they used synthesizers and they weren't from the 90s so I guess it's out?

And not even a good white male genre. I can barely sit through Neutral Milk Hotel and Pavement. Did they pen a few decent tunes? Sure. But this stuff is very low T. Outside of Portland, Oregon and college radio who listens to this stuff?

Every alternative band with an ax and and overdrive pedal leapfrogs this entire space. Sure, there's a market for Guided by Voices. There are white dudes who voted for Kamala. Just not very many of them.

Soft rock has always had a Place in rock n roll history, but it's always taken a back seat to the harder stuff.

A lot of good albums in here, some odd inclusions, didn't really pay attention to the order. Probably 20 I've never listened to (stuff from the past 5 years other than Geese and Wednesday, and stuff like Liz Phair). I own about 60 of these in physical or digital download copy.

Stone Roses definitely not indie. New Wave, post punk, proto grunge. You can tell by the aesthetic of the top 10 these guys put shit like Neutral Milk Hotel and Wilco above all else.

saw a tweet somewhere that nailed it. To paraphrase

- Some great albums on the list. However, none of it matters because none of this aesthetic has any relevance, nor ever will again. Kids today may like Nirvana, but then they skip all this shit. Indie rock, in the end, is dadmusic for men who never procreated.

thought that was a brutally murderous phrase at the end

The Portland hipster coffee aesthetic died and was replaced by wokeism. The whole college town PNW sensitive white guy who's into books and soft music and wears an ascot tie is dead and gone. They were replaced by Antifa radicals and politicths and Twitter heads. Everyone became political and Online. No way to signal your status by talking about Pavement and Neutral Milk Hotel. It's actually sad and as much as I would never stan for this genre, it's not terrible and I find it kind of tragic that the people who liked this stuff were some of the most mind raped by the algorithm people in the world. Their entire culture was pipe raped by Zuckerberg's algorithm and they did it to themselves instead of perpetuating their faggy subculture they just trooned out and got BLM tattoos and changed their whole personality to reflect the times. This is one you have to blame on the pathetic weakness of the goyim.

fucking exile in guyville is #2? LMFAO. pitchfork is retarded and gay now. CRCR is top 10, i could see top 5. the liz phair record is maybe top 30.

why is every list of this type forever trying to hype up sleater kinney and liz phair. it's not happening lezbos.

honestly, some decent albums in here. too much post-2010, indie was shit by then. crooked rain is a great album, but how is slanted and enchanted not top 10? should have had another built to spill album too

Think I'm familiar with at least half of these, but i'm gay.

of the top 50, these were some I listened to regularly (mostly in college): Broken social scene, Silver Jews, Destroyer, TV on the radio, arcade fire, Interpol, the Walkmen, The national, the stone roses.

others i tried to listen to but never became a big fan of (likely because they were just too faggy or weird): Neutral milk hotel, pavement, wilco, sufjan stevens, built to spill, spoon

Btw I listened to High Energy music back then, like lightning bolt and death from above 1979. And if I wanted to be a sensitive guy I could put in some Sigur Ros, cause they still rocked plenty too.

Once, freshman year of college, me and this guy from class both were in love with this little armenian girl we sat by. His name was like Gavin or something. Skater type guy. Nice enough dude.

She'd drive us both to lunch in her lexus, and she had some cable to hook her ipod to the stereo which was a novelty at the time. The other guy hooked his up and played some gay shit like in the OP, I think Arcade Fire maybe, and you could feel the humidity in the car go to zero as her vagina dried up. Then she hooked up my ipod and put it on shuffle and it played that wu tang song with the long intro about heating a wire hanger on the stove and sticking it in a guys asshole. She laughed her cute little armenoid face off. Soon it was just me and her going to lunch as a duo.

Just pictured a indie ipa guy I know. He’s balding now, skinny fat with a Huge gut, a long unkempt beard. I met up with him for a beer when I was in Portland (he moved there because he’s too faggy for other cities) and was thinking “damn this guy got hideous over the years and He was actually handsome in high school”

for sure but some of these these things aren't what i'd call indie

does the author make a distinction between "indie band" and the "indie sound" at any point in this very long pitchfork list

for MM i think their first album was properly "indie" but the one they cite was heavily heavily produced (by a production shop on par, practices-wise, with industry grinder 'fueled by ramen' for a pop punk analogy) if my fallible memory recalls correctly

this is a fair definition

the classification raises a good point re "what *is* indie?"

i think for most people it refers to that jangly 00s college rock/folk infused sound and this reveals how non-descript the label is in the process

"indie" music as music historians sometimes describe it starts in the UK with record label-hostile punk bands or perhaps shortly after that with stuff like the buzzcocks where the driving point behind the band was a refusal to sign with a major label and a preference for homemade production quality

for millennials it's stuff that sounds like the smiths or joy division or ministry's first album but with 00s digital production/recording quality OR particularly folksy pop

And yet the overarching sound of their list is heavily geared towards soft rock, college rock, and indie folk associated evidenced by the high placements of Pavement, Wilco, Neutral Milk Hotel. Everything outside of this narrow scope seems to be Not Indie But We're Including It Somehow. There's a clear bend to this list and a pro forma style they're leaning towards.

strokes have the "indie sound" as i define it above but it's very much a case of stolen valor. they capitalized on a scene already in motion and with daddy warbucks modeling superagency network behind it

shins at #40 are about what i'd consider to be the soul of the genre as most ppl of our time consider it. not that album tho

The Shins aced the test with Oh, Inverted World. Mercer was always in it for the money which I don't begrudge unlike Malkmus who blew up his career on purpose so he could forever be at the top of lists like these.

i don't PERSONALLY really like YLT either (nmh as well for that matter) BUT they are a GREAT choice for the author's definition of the genre and regardless of your feelings on their work they were seminal for the evolution of the genre

never going to pick up a YLT playlist or album of my own volition but hearing it for the first time way back when it was easy to go "yeah, i think i get it"

I think you're right. The definition of indie is the more it sucks and people hate it, the better it is. So to the extent that if things are bad, they're good, YLT should be #1.
