One of the persistent themes in the Now polls is "wow this is my first NOW album" (frantically ticks everything). Another persistent theme is "OK at this point I'd got into indie" (ashamedly ticks nothing). So in the endless search for shared experience let me ask you this question:

How did you get into indie?

and as a bonus question - let's try not to make this too loaded -

If indie is less central to your music listening now than it once was, why do you think this is?

Define the i-word however you like.

I think I have asked similar qns on ILM, but this is a new kettle and these are new fish.

Got into indie by way of Depeche Mode, around the 1989 mark...

I would religiously watch The Chart Show, hoping that it would be indie chart week. At that time it seemed to always be Joe by Inspiral Carpets, or Monkey Gone To Heaven by The Pixies at number one.

But anyway, watching The Chart Show to see how DM were fairing got me into "indie". At least The Chart Show's definition of such.
