i just wanted to let you know that i actually can’t stand “indie rock culture” and am simply befuddled by the idea that i may be associated with it in the minds of others. i just don’t know where this idea came from. it’s not even close.

my tastes are pretty eclectic. but, “indie rock” fits about as well into my music tastes as opera does. which isn’t to say that the idea is entirely absent, so much as to say that i’m really pretty far on the fringes of it.

as a culture, though, i think the “indie rock scene” is flat out revolting. it’s not at all something that i would go out of my way to associate myself with.

outside of the group of misfits that i was friends with in high school (which was basically just the scattered outcasts - various ethnic minorities and a couple of goths), the only social grouping that i’ve ever gone out of my way to spend any time in was occupy. i bill myself as an introvert for a reason. i’m just not somebody that likes to spend time with people, or that enjoys making friends.
