Indie And Alternative Music, What exactly is it?

Free indie rock music

All of us want to label everything. The arts will be the worst offenders of this propensity with virtually everything being categorized into some time and style labels. This really is none more true compared to "pop" music (the truth is there is the label right there, can't bypass it). This could be especially frustrating an internet to categorize something you feel can't be categorized; is it Indie and Alternative music, or is it mainstream.
After i imagine Indie music I do think of a band jamming away in the garage. Which is it - a band! Not just a bunch of producers seeking the "Next Popular trend." The Beatles were like that, playing seven hour gigs in Hamburg, Germany. We were holding poor along inexpensive instruments. The Beatles roomed in cheap hotels also to a sizable extent blared your tunes with their Rock n Roll idols and a few original songs. Needless to say we know what actually transpired in their mind - they went mainstream. Some would blame Brian Epstein to the, but it's not like the 4 Beatles themselves didn't want that simply because they most assuredly did.
If you consider the sixties you have to think that the whole rock music scene was Indie as it was counter-culture. Of course that was the process of the counter-culture; to ensure everyone that's buying belief that we were holding getting the counter-culture rather than Madison Ave. Into a great extent we were holding buying and taking part in actual intercourse. Maybe that was true Indie music.

Then a first golden era in the producer arrived and demolished the thing that was good. Out were trotted the sound-alike slick corporate bands. To be sure some of them sounded amazing; I prefer the band Boston for example. The Punk era in the mid 1970's demolished the demolishers in a brazen even at times bazaar relieve anti-establishment energy. Then those bands separated and died, few or no went mainstream unlike their close cousins "New-Wave."
Those bands came into common use and a battle then raged between "New-Wave" and also the overly produced, but type of fun, Disco. Hair Metal and Glam also took part in the 2nd great era of the producer. Finally, and a few would say thankfully, that gave way to the "Alternative" rock sound ensconced by bands like Nirvana, Jane's Addiction, or Jesus and Mary Chain. They were the modern Indie until what was good became destroyed with the lure of cash and insufficient talent. Pseudo "alternative" grunge bands suddenly appeared and took the stunning landscape of seething musicians twisting it in a sonic conformity that inspired such large selling yet forgettable bands like "Stone Temple Pilots."
So now we are - in one more era in the producer where over-the-top produced bands like "Fun," and singers like Bruno Mars. Rather than mind the "Indie/Alt" bands like "Foster The People" or "5 Seconds of Summer" (did other people observe that "Hey Everybody" was lifted from another Alternative-band gone wrong Duran Duran?) which might be quickly attaining the un-dynamic sound of studio overproduction.
So what exactly is it? Maybe Indie and Alternative music is one area that could only exist for a short period of your energy such as the element Neptunium. It might only exist as rebellion towards the conformity of overly-produced Madison Ave. commerce. Nothing wrong with Madison Ave., though the burning energy of true, if brief, Indie Rock is exactly what I'd like.
