*Justine* Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Indie Rock: Indie is slang for a type of guitar orientated music derived from 'punk'. Indie has generated it's own fashions as with most youth music. Originally an abb. of Independent, being a record label not affiliated to a major label such as Sony or EMI. I have said this once and will say it again, Coldplay IS NOT INDIE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matter-Eater Lad Posted July 29, 2005 Author Share Posted July 29, 2005 i thought indie was like bright eyes or the killers. and bands like that, not bands derived from punk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Justine* Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Indie is basically bands that are based on a non-mainstream label, killers are on a mainstream label, Island, the same one that U2 is on, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gentleparachute Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I tend to group them with Britpop.. It's just convenient considering their from Britain and the quality of their songs puts them in that category. But Wikipedia/Answers.com call them "post-Britpop" And well, they won grammies under the best "Alternative Music Album" back in 2003 for the 2002 Grammy Awards. So Alternative music? along with Radiohead, Bjork & Sigur Ros? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cf Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I've tagged all my Coldplay mp3s as "Alternative". I think it fits the best ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioMad Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 They are not indie. They are not rock. Definitely not alternative. Coldplay are a pop band I think. Maybe soft-rock, or melodic-rock fits te description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
