This article raises some great points, particularly about the way this critic reduces "whitness" and "blackness" in terms of music. I agree with many of the critiques of indie rock and what it signifies, but the critic seems to lack the self-awarness that she writes for THE NEW YORKER, one of the most high-brow publications in the country. Don't get me wrong - I think indie rock and The New Yorker have a lot to offer. They're just not end-alls and be-alls.
Quoted: New Yorker pop critic Sasha Frere-Jones has often indicated boredom and annoyance with a lot of the critically acclaimed, music-blog, and/or NPR-approved "indie rock" of this decade.
