One word to rule them all

The solution to an altbro's problems if he has discovered some music which he fears is too mainstream lies in one word. The one word that justifies all music. One word to rule them all.

Indie.Renowned indie recordlabel, if the new found band is produced by barsuk the bro will have no guilty conscience troulbing his alternativity

It works like this alt-bro discovers new music. Alt-bro doubts the integrity and relevance of this music. It has yet to reach the full status of mainstream. Alt-bro wants to keep his image as an alt-bro. As alt-bro shows of with his new discovery he puts the word indie in front of it, regardless of the other genres (ex. Indie-metal, indie-pop-rock, indie-electro, indie-hip-hop).

This ensures that he stays in top of everything and maintains his status in the group as someone worth listening to when the conversation revolves around music. This is a neat trick. Us it if you doubt your new findings in the world of music. It works.

P.S. It also helps if you found it on some fancy blog.
