In response to "Pitchfork's motto is "indier than thou" but also has that reverse-snobbery thing going where they'll over praise something right in the mainstream. -- nm" by Reagen

It's the non-indie parts that are confusing me.

The aforementioned Daft ones, for example. The mixture of indie with not seems to be an odd mish-mosh, like people with indie cred made a great indie list (I presume, but will defer to you whether or not that statement is correct) and then threw in random mainstream songs they'd heard of.

I'm sure it's more than that, but the rhyme and reason are missing for me.

- Easily Daft Punk's most known song this decade. Homework was 10 years ago (yikes). -- nm - Tim Aug 20, 23:43 2
  - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger since people know the Kanye rip. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 21, 00:37
  - I remember seeing the Around the World video for the first time and wondering if I'd accidentally ingested something. -- nm - Reagen Aug 20, 23:50
