I don't know if I "love" indie and folk, but I enjoy them anyway.

When it comes to folk, I mostly only listen to folk-rock rather than plain old folk...artists like Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Donovan, Paul Simon, etc. Oh, and a special nod to Blackmore's Night, the only "medieval folk-rock" band I listen to.

As for indie, the problem with that is that "indie" isn't very descriptive as a genre, considering it mostly just refers to bands that are/were signed to independent labels or aren't signed at all. Regardless, indie bands that I like include:

Pinback
Neutral Milk Hotel
of Montreal
The Apples in Stereo
The Olivia Tremor Control
Kasabian
The Black Keys
The Decemberists
An Endless Sporadic
The Flaming Lips
Rock n Roll Soldiers
Wintersleep

Indie...

Like Ingrid Michaelson? Cause I likes her first song. Haven't heard much from her though

Well, from what I understand, Indie is mainly just a term used to describe music that's different. In that case, yes, I love indie.

As for folk, Finnish folk or Finnish folk-metal is where it's at!

No, not really. It requires being signed to an independent label or no label at all. That's why it's called "indie."

Even after reading this thread, I still have no bloody clue.

Same..I know Indie Rock but idk what Folk is >_<

[suigintou]

I completely forgot to mention Iron & Wine...completely beautiful indie folk work. Certain songs like "Flightless Bird, American Mouth" are just beautiful enough to make me sigh every time. Iron & Wine is definitely one of the best artists to come out of both indie and folk in a loooong time.

Same..I know Indie Rock but idk what Folk is >_<

Wikipedia is your friend.

Thank you for clearing that up.

In that case, still yes. My favorite non-label band would be Climhazzard. Yes, they named their band after the Limit Break.

Hey peoples of the world, or whatever... I like Indie. Is the band "Hurt" Indie? Because if it is, I like it... I also dont really know what folk is either. (I'm new here, yeah)

[Sanehouse]

I like Indie, but I'm not a fan of Folk.

[suigintou]

Is the band "Hurt" Indie?

No, it's not.
