Okay... Alternative.
My definition -
A rock-ish genre of music that scares your parents and gives your younger siblings nightmares. Most of these songs are about self-harm, or break-ups. Deepressing music that makes you feel good, too.
THE BAD SIDE OF INDIE
Hehe... it gets you grounded and freaks out your non-emo friends. Some would find this handy. Also VERY addictive. May give you suicidal thoughts... but JUST thoughts people.
Examples- Untitled by Simple Plan
The Shade of Poison Trees by Dashboard Confessional
THE GOOD SIDE OF INDIE
Well... feel good music that makes you feel invinsible. Makes your parents scared and half-deaf. Makes you feel positive about that break-up or make you realize what you have. May also be very addictive. BELIEVE ME.
Examples- Hallelujah by Paramore
When I Get Home, You're So Dead by Mayday Parade
THE UGLY SIDE OF INDIE
Some indie bands have leade singers that truely can't sing. But... their awesome guitar skills make up for that. They sound good on the cd... live... not so much.
Example - The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
THE PRETTY SIDE OF INDIE
Although, some bands have leadsingers who make the most aweful guitarists sound good. Their singing talents lift your black nailed spirits and unblacken your eyes.
Examples- Paramore
Flyleaf
Now... what is emo/indie?
The question asked for the past two years. Emo=emotional. You don't have to cut, or feel suicidal to be emo or indie. Indie is like... a skater-kid who doesn't know how to skateboard. Most of the time. Yes we cry. Yes we worship bands like FOB and Paramore. BUT GUESS WHAT?? WE DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK YOU PREP! Hehe.. sorry. Yeah... we DARE to be DIFFERENT! WOO! GO ARMWARMERS AND TOUR T-SHIRTS!!
WOOO!
Now... let the insults fly! ;D
