MODERATORS
Is this a good comparison at all? I don't believe so, as the other commenter explained nicely.
Did Indie Rock lovers hate that their music went mainstream?
Or did they hate that they didn't play in small cozy venues anymore but large and anodyne halls that cost 10x per ticket? That their records started sounding worse for much the same reasons? That artists got bogged down with contracts that forced them to produce more, more, more whether they had ideas in their head or not?
The last one is the most important one to me: Independent is not just a genre, it actually means independently produced. And that sort of Independent never dies and rarely goes mainstream.
