InsaneTim Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Could Indie Rock be the future of Rock and Roll? With punk and metal becoming more awful by the minute, could bands like Franz Ferdinand, Modest Mouse, and Muse save a dying art? And if Indie becomes mainstream, doesn't it technically cease to be Indie? Then what do we call it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible_r Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 isnt it already mainstream? Franz ferdinand and muse have won plenty of awards so in that sense, get airplay etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrampledUnderFoot Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 I think LedStones/DC is on the right track with thinking those bands will be the new RNR. Those bands along with the following are the future of rock: The Killers Weezer ( I know they've been around for ten years, but I think they'll be back) Velvet Revolver Sam Roberts and I can't think of anymore, but they ARE some good rock bands around that aren't this punk sh*t. The only new "punk" band I like is Sum 41. Listen to "We're All to Blame". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 I think for a while the popular music will follow the path of indie. Since it will be mainstream, it should be called "minimalist." It's a minimal sound, very queit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrampledUnderFoot Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 I say as long as we keep listening to RNR when it was pure and still stuck it to the man, then we don't need to worry too much about the future of it :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Come on people how about the most promising act in years...... that's right AUDIO-FREAKIN'-SLAVE!! I can't get enough of their album, its so awesome, it's got some great tracks to rock out to RATM syle (such as Cochise, and Set it Off) and then there are tracks that Cornell's voice just carries you away in (such as the beautiful 'I am The Highway') You know, I'm postin' this album in the music of choice forum.
