Why do people not take the indie/rock genre seriously?
Indie/rock is by far my favourite genre but I feel like it has a very cult following and most people I talk to about it don't take it seriously or laugh it off as 'indie shit'. I don't know if this is just an experience I've had but it's really frustrating when they listen to hip hop and rap and won't give anything else the time of day like I would to other genres. Does this come down to immature music snobbery or is it an actual thing that people don't like?
