Everything cool that could be done with guitar music was found by the late 90s. Everything after is just treading the same water more or less, so it's natural that the indie acts getting attention these days are just rip offs of acts from yesteryear. Castrated Pavement.

They are indie in both meanings of the word indie, you massive fucking retard.

Elliott Smith wasn't doing anything new with the guitar. He just wrote good songs. It would still be just as valuable to write good songs today.

>Indie is a short form of "independence" or "independent"; it may refer to:
>Independent record label, operates without major corporate funding
>Independent music, subculture music that is independent of major producers
>Indie rock, a genre of alternative rock music
>Indie rock is a genre of alternative rock that originated in the United States and the United Kingdom in the 1980s. Originally used to describe independent record labels, the term became associated with the music they produced and was initially used interchangeably with "alternative rock". As grunge and punk revival bands in the US, and then Britpop bands in the UK, broke into the mainstream in the 1990s, it came to be used to identify those acts that retained an outsider and underground perspective. In the 2000s, as a result of changes in the music industry and the growing importance of the Internet, some indie rock acts began to enjoy commercial success, leading to questions about its meaningfulness as a term. Sometimes used interchangeably with "guitar pop rock",[1] in the mid-1980s, the term "indie" (or "indie pop") began to be used to describe the music produced on punk and post-punk labels.

>Dischord Records is a Washington, D.C.-based independent record label specializing in the independent punk rock music of the D.C.-area music scene.
>By summer 1991, the album sold more than 300,000 copies, a large number for a label that relied on minimal promotion. While major labels began to court Fugazi, the band decided to stay with Dischord and refused the offers of those labels
>By the In on the Kill Taker tour, the group began to sell-out large auditoriums and arenas, as well as receive more lucrative major label offers. During the band's sold-out 3-night stint at New York City's Roseland Ballroom in September 1993, music mogul and Atlantic Records president Ahmet Ertegün met with the band backstage in an attempt to sign them. Ertegün offered the band "anything you want", their own subsidiary label and more than $10 million just to sign with Atlantic. Fugazi declined the offer. The organizers of Lollapalooza also attempted to recruit the band for a headlining slot on its 1993 tour, which the band considered but ultimately turned down.

Just because everything has already been done doesn't mean you can't still do something well. Now that guitar music has been charted aesthetically artists are better suited to focusing on song writing.

There is still some good Indie out there but you have to dig a bit deeper than usual to get to it.

>what happened?
Bands like Imagine Dragons turned indie into derivative pop bullshit, so bands like Car Seat Headrest and Mac Demarco tried to capitalize on bringing "real indie" back, by appealing to the same fans of the same derivative garbage but with some air of faux originality that left it devoid of anything actually reminiscent of the indie spirit.
"Real" indie music still exists, but any band that markets itself as "indie" in 2018 is pretty much guaranteed to be anything but.

90s ended and young faggots don't want loud rock music anymore.

Try the 70s, not even because it was good but by then everything was done and electronic had the time to finish off during the decade. The 90s was image and an embarrassing one at that.
