I don't get this. Sometimes it seems as though people want me to support "indie" artists even if they suck. Now, I'm not pointing any fingers at any one artist, but going to the record store feels more like a guilt trip than an enjoyable occassion when all the "hipsters" working there look down on you for buying a record from your favorite band (who is signed) and not some shitty emo-im-so-sad-i-lost-my-girlfriend-im-going-to-write-a-song-about-it band.
Maybe it's just Portland? Anyone else ever feel this way? Give me a indie band that truly deserves my hard earned dollars by way of making some killer music THAT I LIKE, and I will support them!

Support musicians who put out quality material.
