What’s the problem with indie music? Some of what I talk about:
* Early indie rock or “college rock” like Husker Du, Pavement, and Sonic Youth
* The birth of “major label indie” like The Shins, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The White Stripes, and The Strokes thanks to movies and TV like Garden State, 500 Days Of Summer and The OC
* Do indie bands really stand for anything? Eg, Iron & Wine, Lumineers or Death Cab For Cutie
* Indie culture’s problem with hipster conformity
