Has anyone brought up how we should define indie vs. alternative yet
i think shuck disagreed with my years but alternative was like 86-00 and everything after that is indie. alternative is the pixies, indie is the national, vampire weekend, and LCD soundsystem. i mean the spirit of that is pretty accurate i think.
It’s late 70s but the problem is it was a blanket term used on college radio. But bands like REM had mainstream success years before 86.

Oh I thought this convo was more recent.
Whatever. Alternative and indie are pretty much the same. Indie just has better bands attached to it because there’s so much shot alternative stuff in the 90s

not gunna lie, the way i chose 1986-2000 is those are the years MTV's "120 Minutes" aired. but i can't disagree that alternative started in the late 70s, just in my head i tend to split those "early alternative" tracks into separate genres: post-punk, new wave, and college radio, for the most part. and by college radio i pretty much mean early REM.
