I deliver scorn when it is deserved, and both "indie-style-music" and "indie-fashion" are both so rediculously lame that they qualify. I used to like indie back when it meant "independent", but now that it has been twisted to mean "lame, boring, folky, soft, non-melodic music and uniform, drab, androgynous dress with pretentious attitude" it has drawn my ire. Perhaps the TIG should start to focus on music rather than fashion and gossip. Also, perhaps TIG should expand their coverage to include independent bands of a wider subset of rock genres, not just the aforementioned boring as hell variety.
