i love it how every tag has at least a few people arguing why it's not a real genre. names of genres are often arbitrary, yet some people thinks it's their job to tell others they're wrong.

Forfeit this "indie pop" bullshit. It doesn't exists as a legitimate musical genre. Stop tagging all independent pop bands as indie pop. If you don't know what to tag for a particular independent band, don't tag it at all

ah, Post Punk or do you mean Post Rock? Nevertheless very true due to those (genres) are Very low key..... (making them underground, hence the independent record labels ) therefore no need for all this jazz and confusion on this genre at our door steps.
