INDIE FAUX PAS

Only wear a band t-shirt if you have heard literally every song they have ever done. Ever.

Here is an example of all of your previous, hard-earned cred going down the drain, submitted by Andy:

Black Flag T-Shirt
I was at a gig with my friend and he was wearing a Black Flag T-Shirt with the famous logo on it. As we waited for the headline band the famous Black Flag song ‘Damaged II’ started to play over the PA. After a couple of minutes he asked me if I knew who was responsible for the song because it sounded pretty good. 

I went to Club NME.. twice.

Stop typing ‘you’re’ and ‘your’ as ‘yr’. Just stop. You’ll thank us one day.

i once said that i liked the newest belle and sebastian album over their earlier work.

this one time this boy and i were talking about music, and i nodded my head when this he asked me if i liked something, but really i didn’t hear what he said.

Our first non-anon Tumblr submission! Hugs xxxxx

Once I didn’t cry at a Morrissey gig

on last.fm i once ‘loved’ a song that had apparently been on an advert

but i thought was still kwl and indie and when it came up on facebook and some loser was like ‘i luvz this sng’ i was all like ‘woah why’s this coming up on my profile?! CRAZY!’

i once admitted on Twitter that I don’t really like Pavement!

I went to see this band called Women the other day

supporting this guy called Chad VanGaalen. I thought Chad VanGaalen was in Women because he was doing electronicy stuff with them, and after their set, since he was the only one at the front of the stage, I said hi and said I enjoyed the album and thought their set was really great, and he said “Thanks, but I’m not really in the band, I just play with them sometimes”. So I was like “Do you want me to stop talking to you then? HAHAHAHAHA!” Then one of the guys who was actually in the band came over, so I started talking to him, when it suddenly dawned on me that the other guy was Chad VanGaalen, and I’d committed the BIGGEST INDIE FAUX PAS OF ALL TIME.
