I'm so disconnected from an indie-rock community that I am the hermit people used to guess I was.

I used to think of 'alternative rock' as a radio format, kind of the way 'indie rock' used to have more meaning. But it means different things depending on where you are or what country you're in.

Aaron Dessner

I didn't grow up with indie rock - I mean, I listened to bands that are considered indie rock, but I think that term is dead and uninteresting.

Justin Vernon

I'm like the Fugitive, running from the one-armed indie-rock community!

Billy Corgan

I really do listen to all types of music, not only rock, but everything from good pop music - which is usually older pop music - to R&B and indie rock. I love indie rock more than a lot of the commercial stuff that you'd expect.

Amy Lee

Amy Lee

A lot of the music I was inspired by growing up - college rock, DIY, what they used to call indie rock - has a value system where truth-telling and authenticity are oppositional with mass media, showbiz, and commerce.

David Longstreth

The music is at this weird intersection of dance music and indie music. It's not quite dancey enough to do a full-blown DJ set, and it wasn't quite rock enough for a rock band. But I guess it's what makes us unique - drawing from a lot of different influences.

Washed Out

I guess my music taste is pretty predictable: I like new indie rock stuff, older stuff.

Aziz Ansari

I wear glasses and suits, so I guess I am an indie artist.

Stevie Jackson

I used to be really influenced by Brian Bendis, back in his indie days. But I guess I try to tone that down.

Bryan Lee O'Malley

I am so disconnected from the world of rock 'n' roll. I was always peripheral, partly because of the drug culture. I was not involved in that.

Joan Baez

I feel like I'm a rock artist. I don't feel like I'm a pop artist. And I'm alt rock. I'm indie rock. I'm punk rock. Because it comes from the pots and pans. It's a lot of me, but I've got multiple personalities.

CeeLo Green

I always thought of indie-rock as being rock music by bands that were on independent labels, and that's a great thing.

Britt Daniel

I'm always into rock n' roll and indie rock.

Mischa Barton

Why do people want to know exactly who I am? Am I a poet? Am I this or that? I've always made people wary. First they called me a rock poet. Then I was a poet that dabbled in rock. Then I was a rock person who dabbled in art.

Patti Smith

I played in rock bands in college and then right out of college I moved over to Europe and lived in Ireland for about four years playing in indie rock bands. I love and miss being in a band, I still am in a band but pursuing that as a career I definitely missed it but I felt like that ship had sailed.

Bill Watterson
