And so both alt-rock and alt-glam were banished from the public eye. Britney beat Billy. And, quietly, carefully, introvertedly, a younger generation of sensitive types stayed away from the Warped Tour and the Summer Sanitarium in preference for their bedrooms, often in solitary diligence, softly preparing a revolution.
They weren't rich like their alt-rock ancestors; weren't already famous; had no record deals of the sort their aesthetic parents enjoyed in an era when labels like Interscope and even Maverick could make the earth tremble. What they did have was talent, time, and the means of production, and that's all an artist ever really needs. And so was indie-rock born into the world. (Italics mine)
I presume he means 're-born.' Otherwise, Paul Westerberg and Bob Mould would like to have a word with him.
Also, what to make of Billy Corgan's playing all the non-drum parts on Siamese Dream?
