I guess I’m the only person here who just got his entire music collection called out.

At least I get to keep Danko Jones and Buck 65. They must still be cool.

    Am I the only one here who's too old to recognize anything on that list? 😅

    I'm 52, and I like 3 of them, and know of 4 others.

    I'm in my mid-40s and half of that list is in heavy rotation on my Spotify playlists lol. Metric was one of my top most listened to bands last year

    I suspect it's less an age thing than a preference of musical genre thing

    Maybe, although a friend of mine did once observe that most people stop paying as much attention to popular music after they graduate from high school (college/university at the latest). I am not an exception to this, but it looks like you guys are.

    "The single Save Your Scissors was even catchy enough to give Dallas Green the opportunity for a breakthrough slot at the Much Music Video Awards, which is a sentence so old-fashioned it may as well have contained the words ‘malt shoppe’ ‘stickball’ or ‘home ownership’."

    Amazing.

    Sloan is overrated and arcade fire is the nickel back of indie rock. I said what I said.

    I've heard of most of these aside from #1. Who the hell is Broken Social Scene and when exactly was it supposed to define my tastes?

    You Forget it in People and their self titled album are pretty great, especially the former. You might know them for having Feist and the singer of Metric as singers, or as Crash and the Boys from Scott Pilgrim (The music, not the actors).

    That stung. A lot.

    That may not have hit home for everyone, but that definitely hit home for me and exactly my time and place in the world.

    Hahaha, I’ve never heard of any of these bands, I guess I should feel old.

    Nothing I listen to made the list. I'm going to eat my Red River cereal and cry.

    And I thought Rush would be on the list 😆

    Hmm probably more prog rock than indie, but what even are genres anyway?

    Indie isn't about genre, it's about production status.
