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 because I wasn't cool enough to be allowed to like the Spice Girls in primary school. I fell out with indie because it all appears to be bloody emo now and I'll be damned if I'm going to listen to a load of wankers rant on about their girlfriend who probably quite rightly dumped them for being such a whingey fuck.

Some indie is still ace (Skin will always have a special place in my heart) and I very much like "underground" dance, like the stuff on Hospital Records. And I saw one of the Pet Shop Boys in some music publication saying they like a London Elektricity song, the other day, so that must make that alright. :D
