Sekrit Origins

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.

I got into indie about 18 months ago. I was pop/pop indie along the now lines until I was 15 or 16, then went all alternative/grunge/punk rock/nu-metal/hardcore until I left uni and needed something gentler and more melodic to see me home after a day in the office
