Stylus Magazine has an interesting little article up titled, “The Problem With Indie“. Read it if you are interested in such things as indie music, street cred, and other such pretensions.

Or, if you want to get a better viewpoint combined with super-cool music, listen to “Indier Than Thou” by MC Frontalot, here’s the chorus:

(he’s so indie) indie I be
ain’t an obscurer rapper out there who be indier than me
(he’s so indie) indie, and how!
come not near to me; for I be indier than thou
(he’s so indie) indie indeed
if I were on an indie label you could call me mainstream
(he’s so indie) indie I am
all the better for the frontalot to leverage his brand

(Check out Braggadocio while you’re at the site, it’s my favorite. MC Frontalot is the only rap I’ve enjoyed since PE and Run DMC.)
