CunninLynguistsSeems like 90% of indie bands are just bunch of emasculated boys singing girly choruses in high-pitched, feminine tones. Where's the rock? Where's the testosterone, where's the edge, the aggression, the BALLS? Getting tired of these little heroin chic, girl men wailing in falsetto.
I guess the music is a by-product of the overly-feminized society we live in.
Remember grunge? At least those skinny white boys weren't afraid to get in yer face and let you have it. It seems now, the same generation of white boys have lost their balls. Guys like Kurt Cobain and Layne Staley at least burned bright while they were here. They weren't afraid to show their anger and angst in their music. Whereas these singers now...just seem passified, is that a word?
in days gone past, guys didn't learn to harness their testosterone until well into their twenties. Nowadays though, any sort of aggression or masculine behavior is quickly snubbed out in the classrooms and homes in our western culture as feminism asserts itself on young males and impresses itself on young females. So I think this new generation of "rockers" has been conditioned to be more passive and feminine.

Indie music, as a genre, and it's toned-down, tamed, un-offensiveness is a direct reflection of the emasculation that feminism has achieved in young males. It's like every Indie band is a slightly different version of Bright Eyes. A castrated male plea to society. And the message indie music is sending is "I'm sensitive, I understand you, I'm aware of the harm men have done to women and the harm men have done to our environment".
My only point was that, as a result of the feminist movement, men in general have been emasculated and this is reflected in the music of our generation. Indie music, is a perfect example of this. Further, indie music, as a genre, is no longer relegated to the underground scene but has now moved into the mainstream. Masculinity and femininity are foreign concepts now, unidentifiable. And this is what I see in indie music.
Peter Frampton's music represents masculinity, that which is distinctly male. With his music he doesn't apologize for being a man, rather with it he embraces and expresses what it is to be a man. Unapologetic sexuality, the desire to conquer whatever he wants to conquer, non-accountability to the establishment. By "establishment" I mean government, feminism, liberalism or any movement or structure that would attempt to strip him of his masculinity.
To be a man is to be your own master. You don't answer to a bureaucracy and you certainly don't answer to women. To be masculine is to be the dominant one, the leader, the initiator, assertive, without fear of confrontation. Basically, the exact opposite of everything that indie music represents. Thus, indie music has been emasculated and now represents the traits of femininity rather than masculinity. Indie songs are always about how guys are in touch with the issues, especially those of women and the environment.
If you think the feminist movement is nothing more than women seeking equal rights, you're exceedingly naive. The feminist movement is THE prominent, all-encompassing philosophy of our society. The feminist movement brainwashes women into believing that they don't need men, that men are pigs and worth nothing more than servants with one task; to give women what they are entitled to. Which leads me to the sense of entitlement that feminism instills in women. Under the feminist philosophy, every woman deserves a perfect man, a perfect job, a perfect life, etc. and isn't required to do anything in order to earn these things.
Under the feminist movement, that reared its ugly head along with the abortion/eugenics movement, women are taught that nothing is more important than "ME". So women abort their babies because the babies are an inconvenience to them, they stick their infants in daycare because their job comes first and they divorce their husbands because he doesn't make them happy.

For the young males, the lines have been blurred, all but erased as to what it means to be a man and what those traits are that distinguish men from women. The people on this site, of whom most assuredly are all young males between the ages of 18-35, haven't the foggiest idea about what masculinity is, further, they misinterpret it as chauvinism, sexism and ignorance. They have proven my point that males have been brainwashed along with the females by the feminist/liberal movement.
Don't get me wrong, I like indie music. In fact, most of what I listened to is considered indie. But that's where the emasculation stops for me. Thankfully I have a dad who grew up pre-feminist era and he instilled in me a proper understanding of what it means to be a man.
I feel sorry for males that grow up without guidance from their dads, a role model to show a man how to be a man. But the fact is, that's the way most guys grow up. Most dads nowadays are already ruined, castrated by the feminist movement. Now that women have invaded the workplace and every other aspect of our society, men have become nothing more than accessories, even hindrances. Everything that was masculine has been removed, replaced with an asexual/feminine quality.
One need only take a look at the men, and I use that term very loosely, that are in most of these indie bands. They are weak, skinny, effeminate humans. Like I said earlier, it's almost like they're ashamed of being men. They are afraid they might offend someone by showing any masculine traits. And their songs reflect this. I can't be the only one who notices this.
Media portrays men as weak, unimportant buffoons, and that's what they've become. Look at how many tv shows and movies mock men, with characters that are constantly apologizing for being men. Music is no different, especially indie.
