What do you mean "indie" is a label? "Indie" is a definition, not a label or scene. Man you are really falling off track here.
And who "pimps" these bands? What do you mean? Where are they being pimped? Do you think these bands are on tv or the radio or something?

Here you can see the grudge you have. You say you are anti-"pop music", but then bash local bands playing in college towns for no money or fame?
You make no sense dude.

and this?! so annoying!!! You talk about hating labels and shit. But you use the term "indie" like some snot nose little mtv watching brat.
? Indie means independent, not signed to a commercial record label. /definition
If you go to a R&B club downdown and watch some dude freestyle who isn't signed to a commercial record label. That is Indie. If you go watch some "Cure" wannabe drowning in his own sorrow and isn't signed to a commercial record label, that is indie.
Indie is not a "style" of music. Stop referring to it as such.
