Guest katie Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 katie.. people have their own ideas of what genre a band is..i say smiths are pop, you say they are indie..<{POST_SNAPBACK}>no, i consider the smiths as eighties popthe whole idea of getting the genres wrong is when these stupid bloody "Indie" kids go round believeing thier music isn't pop, so strongly deny it, and consider themselves better than everyone else (not all, just all the ones i've come across)a strong title goes with indie...should not be used lightly or thrown on the kaiser cheifs etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest katie Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 so what makes the smiths indie?whats so good about the guitarist?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>the smiths started off as indie: individual, they were unique and invented a whole style and genrethen they became popular, and other bans like them came along, hence they turned into pop, and they didn't get any worse or better, same badn just popular.and ifyou are talking about the guitarist of the smiths and you don't know what is so good about him, then you need to learn more about guitars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
