>>74364220
college rock died in the early 90's

All the people who listen to indie music have already grown out of it by now. They probably listen to trap now.

>>74364190
indie never existed.

It stayed the same, didn't evolve. Also rock should have distortion, people got tired of that twangy shit.

> music review aggregates and tastemakers sold out and embraced poptimism
> societal pressure to be progressive led to lots of people shying away from a genre dominated by white men
> hip hop got hugely popular

I think indie used to be synonymous with any music that wasn't coming from a major label

later it became a meme genre which apparently encompasses any soft rock/pop or folk music that is primarily listened to by young men whose beards are thicker than their arms
