what the fuck is indie rock?

True conversation, had a couple hours ago with a dude getting a Pantera tattoo in a suburban strip-mall tat parlor:
Him: So, man, you listen to a lot of metal?
Me: Not really. A little, but not much.
Him: So what kind of music do you listen to?
Me: I dunno. A lot of indie rock.
Him: Indie rock? What the fuck is indie rock? Is that like [sings in a high, “gay” voice] “La la la la la la”?
Me: Sorta.

  1. Heh. That’s great.
    Usually I just tell people who look like they wouldn’t know what I’m talking about that I listen to opera. It probably means about the same to them.
