Talk:The Moon & Antarctica

message: Alternative rock? I know this album was on a major, but does this album sound influenced by nirvana, sonic youth or soundgarden? Any thoughts on a better classification?
:how the hell is it influenced by nirvana? They are indie rock, not alternative -- 69.234.106.60 23:35, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: what an utter idiot that person is. "alternative rock" may be meaningless but even under its worst possible definition it never said you had to be influenced by "grunge." Modest Mouse is clearly an alternative rock band and/or an indie rock band. If you define indie as a genre rather than a type of label, it means exactly the same thing alternative used to mean. besides, Modest Mouse actually strikes me as one of the most similar bands to Nirvana... Nirvana's Unplugged album, or certain tracks on In Utero for instance. in terms of having the "folk-punk" style and even the style of lyrics at times, and even the part of the country- I think they have a lot in common and that might explain why these bands somehow resonated with the general American public as well, where richer, more hipsterish indie rock bands like Pavement didn't... of course they never signed with a major label either. 172.171.115.147 06:11, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Also, as a sidenote. indie rock is considered as an alternative rock subgenre. Not all alternative rock is grunge or noise rock influenced. --190.159.187.70 (talk) 00:20, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
