thread_title:  If Indie Rock's stylistic origins are in both Post-punk and New Wave... 

message: Twee pop is sorely lacking on Wikipedia. I don't think we can simply dismiss it as being synonymous with indie pop, as it's a movement in its own right. There was a conversation about starting a twee pop article here a few years ago, but nothing seems to have come out it. Right now I'm trying to find sources on which we can base a twee pop article. After a quick search, I found these:
* Allmusic profile
* About.com profile
* TweeNet
Surely there are more sources? I'm not very good at finding them. Help would be appreciated. Carbrain (talk) 10:53, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: "No such thing as twee pop. It's just a term" — Huh? Make up your mind, does it exist or doesn't it? Almost every western genre from the last 30 years has been "just a term coined by journalists".--Ilovetopaint (talk) 15:11, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Possible sources for a twee pop article 

message: This article has a lot of problems. While I don't disagree with some of the statements, they are not sourced and appear to be only opinions on for example the origins of the genre. The importance of the C86 compilation (and the reissues) is repeatedly overstated, and the term 'C86' was only retrospectively used for bands  from the late 80s that had little similarity to most of the bands on the C86 album - the article states that these later bands were influenced by the compilation, but that simply isn't true - they may have been influenced by some of the bands on the compilation (and undoubtedly many others that weren't). This article shouldn't be about the C86 compilation - it really wasn't all that important at the time. The whole 'Roots' section is unsourced - C81 had nothing to do with indie pop (it just had a similar name to C86) and the rise of independent record labels was related but not the same as indie pop (take a look at some of the indie charts from the era - mostly not indie pop). The article states that Talulah Gosh and Razorcuts were yet to emerge in 1986, but Razorcuts had been around since 1984 and were already having indie hits in 1986. --Michig (talk) 06:17, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not an expert on the genre but I had almost all of the same feelings. C86 is overstated. What is indie pop? I still don't really have a clue.--Ilovetopaint (talk) 14:32, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Source for TVU distorted music page 

message: Hmm... There's only history of the subject before the '90's, nothing afterwards. Indie pop has gone a long way since then, and most people that lick a link here probably want to know more about the recent history of indie pop as well. Anyone have any good ideas of places for sources for more recent history?Awsomaw (talk) 03:30, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  History stops after the '80s? 

message: I'm surprised that this article doesn't link to List of indie pop artists, but I'm not sure where such a link should be situated in the article, so I haven't made that edit myself. Jcejhay (talk) 21:39, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Link to list of artists? 

message: Look, I know that indie pop is a very closely related of indie rock, but every site I seen treats it as a full-on subgenre of pop. Shouldn't we give it the same colors as the other pop genres? 72.208.178.248 (talk) 04:21, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Looking at the indie pop article which is mostly about the NME's C86, indie pop should be in the same colours as all the other alternative music articles, whilst alt-pop (if an article is ever created) should be in the same colours as all the chart pop stuff as most online articles about alt-pop these seem to relate to teenagers/young adults in the chart and not artists who would have the C86 tape in the collection or have ever seen a printed copy of the NME in the shops.

thread_title:  Color for infobox 

message: For example, Wikipedia categorizes Gracie Abrams as Indie pop. She is the daughter of a film director and a film producer signed to a major label (Interscope/Universal). How more mainstream can you get? Independant used to mean that the people involved had very little money and much enthusiasm. -- 2003:E5:171F:444A:2035:C831:CC1C:174B (talk) 08:44, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  The term has long lost any meaning 

message: Needs some mention of the Monochrome Set, they were very influential to indie pop and their first singles in the late 1970s helped birth the Smiths, critics have later assessed them as presaging the sounds of bands like Franz Ferdinand. Aradicus77 (talk) 01:12, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
