I guess I’m the only person here who just got his entire music collection called out.
At least I get to keep Danko Jones and Buck 65. They must still be cool.
Sloan is overrated and arcade fire is the nickel back of indie rock. I said what I said.
“The single Save Your Scissors was even catchy enough to give Dallas Green the opportunity for a breakthrough slot at the Much Music Video Awards, which is a sentence so old-fashioned it may as well have contained the words ‘malt shoppe’ ‘stickball’ or ‘home ownership’.”
Amazing.
Am I the only one here who’s too old to recognize anything on that list? 😅
I’m 49. I know all of them.
That stung. A lot.
That may not have hit home for everyone, but that definitely hit home for me and exactly my time and place in the world.
I feel you, friend.
Hahaha, I’ve never heard of any of these bands, I guess I should feel old.
You should feel utterly disinterested in Canadian indie music. Even Americans know half those names!
Nothing I listen to made the list. I’m going to eat my Red River cereal and cry.

And I thought Rush would be on the list 😆
Hmm probably more prog rock than indie, but what even are genres anyway?
Ya for sure. I think my brain refused to recognise “indie” and “classic” in the same sentence.
Indie isn’t about genre, it’s about production status.
Indie rock is most certainly a genre.
You’re right. Indie being short for independent, e.g. shit some band records on the cheap, typically with little attention paid to production both during recording, and post. I’m not sure why people think it’s a genre.

How long until Chad VanGaalen is classic? https://flemisheye.com/collections/chad-vangaalen
