Folks, what is all this confusion about what is indie anymore? It has always been easy for me to know what indie is. It is a little more than punk, a little less than rock. It's that simple.
It is self-conscious of its aspirations. It would love to "rock" like rock but is worried about the attention that rocking could bring.

The Califonia Gurls video is more outrageous/hilarious/subversive/amazing than anything Lady Gaga has done
I am sick of this Lady Gaga is a serious artiste shit. Sure, the gal knows how to work the industry... if every other pop star had spent like, 5 years working in the industry before deciding to play it, it would be the same thing. I know her videos are supposed to be like high-concept/high-art/high-fashion or whatever too but like, all that shit is lost on me. I shop at the Gap.
Yeah, no, I'm way more blown away by Katy Perry's turn as an Oompa Loompa-style imp that has recently discovered her sexuality. In one scene, she is laying nude on a purple cloud, with shiny purple hair, and after mouthing the line "Sun-kissed skin/so hot we'll melt your popsicle," she covers her teeth with her tongue and looks knowingly at the camera. Like, "come on, I've never been much for subtlety." The plot of the video is just thrown away (i.e. Snoop Dogg appears to be her (literal?) "sugar daddy" and is seen dancing with her and the other Calif. gurls, but then Snoop is the target of a whipped-breast-cream attack that leaves his gummi bear minions incapacitated
Katy Perry's deliberate movements and wide eyes at the beginning of the vid, like while the viewer and also Perry are growing accustomed to this edible wonderland, are kind of charming.
A dress of bubbles? Fuck a dress of bubbles. Calif gurls has Perry donning a dress of that sticky paper candy (that skeeves me out, but still.)
I dunno, I guess what I'm saying is, I'm glad this video has almost 9.5 million views as of tonight.
