All the great rock bands are from UK, so US had to learn to deconstruct and cover themselves in irony just to compete.
No joke, indie rock is like the only genre where the US bands beat the UK
Samuel Johnson
Josiah Edwards
UK makes best Indie.
Carter Russell
Listening to rock will brand you as a racist.
Owen Kelly
BASED American post-hardcore > Cringy hipster bong post-punk
Carter Cooper
Modest mouse, Pavement and Built to spill are all american bands tho
Noah Russell
Sure. UK rock acts reigned supreme through the 60s and 70s and even 80s. It was only the indie explosion of the 90s and 2000s that elevated US rock again (even earlier if you count Husker Du, Sonic Youth, and Pixies). If not it would all just be Pop Punk and Nickelback.
So were Pixies, Flaming Lips, and Spoon.
Colton Morris
it's funny howliterally any topic is brought up and someone says US does something right, there is always a couple spergs that come in and dismantle everything just because they don't like the US

>Talking Heads
>Cringy

Canada had a better indie scene in the late 90s and all of the 00s. I'm not even saying this as a canadian but objectively.
Nicholas Fisher
Because we have artistic souls, despite "Not having a culture lmao 56% mutt"
Nicholas Foster
Holy fucking shit dude, choke harder
Luis Cook
Legit don't know any 90's Canadian indie rock band except Les Colocs which are from Quebec
Christian White
Godspeed You Black Emperor ring a bell?
Henry Lee
Yeah but that's not really what comes to mind when i think Indie Rock desu. And it's another band from Quebec so i guess Quebec is pretty good.
Jordan Parker

>The group releases recordings through Constellation, an independent record label also located in Montreal
Nolan Hughes
I would disagree. 60's sure, the whole british invasion. 70's and 80's? That's contentious. Aerosmith? Lynyrd Skynyrd? The Doors? Journey? Ramones? KISS? Beach boys? Bon Jovi? Guns n roses? Eagles? Boston? US dominated. In terms of albums sales, US rock had a shitton. and the top selling records during these times, there was a lot of US rock.
Caleb Bennett
Alright you're factually correct but you won't find them classified as Indie Rock on many sites is what i meant
Kayden Ross
DIDNT ADD UP
FORGOT TO CARRY A ZERO
Zachary Gonzalez

Hunter Sanchez
Now we can't even touch it afraid it'll fall APART
oh i thought he meant hipster bong as in dude weed lmao culture, i'm dum
Carter Cook
Pisses me off that if you look up Indie Rock bands, none of them charted in the US, but it's not uncommon for them to chart in the UK
UK top 40 is way better than US top 40
Pic unrelated
Joshua Allen
Harness your hopes on just one person
Because you know a harness, was only made for one
Asher Torres
>tfw indie is dead and the only bands playing it are just rehashing existing stuff
Cowpunk/synthpunk revolution when??
Ryder Jenkins
I'm trying I'm trying to drink away the part of the day
That I cannot sleep away
Jonathan Sanchez
Why are there no good French indie bands?
Why aren't Métal Urbain more famous?
Christopher Powell

Ethan Gonzalez
Our music is pretty much terrible all around, all of our GOATs died between 25 and 50 years ago.
David King
Phoenix are a decent pop band.
Daïtro are good and so are Air.
That's about it though lol
Blake Thomas
Noir Désir was pretty good it's The Gun Club but in French
Xavier Robinson
