Girl: Yes, Indie is great at the moment.
Now, I think Indie has been crap for quite sometime, but I really like the fact that some kids can do genre-hopping just like that. The conversation went into a pretty generic discussion of the merits of
Rock and Hip Hop, that had them both agreeing that these genres stand out from the crowd. It's that type of open-mindedness that I like, regardless of the type of music that is being discussed.

Now, those people were probably going from Rhianna to Snow Patrol, from Beyonce to The Fratellis. Those are two hypothetical examples im going for, but "indie" and "RnB" doesnt really cross a big faultline at the minute, so i think youd find alot of kids who like bands that fit across that particular Venn diagram. And its never been any different, really.
