What? "umbrella term to reference rock artists that are or were unsigned" ... all artists a some point were unsigned. So that isn't a good description. But it could explain why there is so much described as 'indie rock'.

I think some of taged Indie bands are similar, but KILLERS and DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE are very different and it cause one doubt in respect of what's the true "Indie Rock"!

Stop saying it's not a genre you idiots. I quote: " Don’t pretend not to know exactly what I’m talking about when I say “indie rock.” It means white kids with guitars playing slapdash lo-fi pop songs about spatulas. You know, Sebadoh, Guided by Voices, Pavement, et al. Sure, there are plenty of musical approaches within the American indie rock scene (some bands sound like broken vacuum cleaners trying to suck up The Beach Boys and some sound like broken vacuum cleaners trying to suck up The Kinks).

In my opinion indie rock has today evolved into a specific genre, since the bands who are referred to as indie rock have a similiar sound. BUT! The term indie on its own is NOT to be considered as a genre (but possibly a scene).

And btw you can tag songs like their emotions happy, sad, melancholic, psychedelic which adds up but that's impossible for bands. So you have to put them in some kind of boxes, even though some people don't like that. Of course that's says not much about their much really and some bands fit in many boxes or can't be compared to anything else anyway but I think it's easier to have some generic tags that lead you in the right directions if you're looking for a certain sound.

So what? Then indie rock becomes a new meaning and will not to be understood in the 'old' sense anymore. It's become a genre for many people anyway. Like someone said before bands tagged indie rock share similar sounds. If you like those sounds or not is another issue.
