I find indie music boring because it tries so hard not to resemble any other genre that its features seem to be what it lacks (musically) rather than what it has. This is dumb. Invent some new styles that are weird and wacky, don't just do standard old 4/4 all the time! Do something radical like serialism was radical, or do you actually want to have commercial appeal?
And I find indie music pretentious because it masquerades as high art, supposedly worthy of my time, when in fact, I completed all the theory necessary to understand it (generally) in grade 10 at school. I haven't had much of a look at lyrics though; they could be interesting, but the music has put me off.
Possible scenario 1
I find indie lyrics to be good (as subjective as that is)
- Consequence - There is no reflection of the intricacies I find in the lyrics in the music. Therefore, indie music is pretentious and boring (to me)
Possible scenario 2
I find indie lyrics to be bad
- Consequence - There is a reflection of the content of the lyrics in the music. Therefore, indie music is pretentious and boring (to me)
