This whole business of categorizing music fans into THIS area or THAT
area seems a bit pointless to me. Once you have everyone assigned to
their group, based on the music they prefer or the car they drive or
whatever, then what?

The instinctive segregation of people into socioeconomical and
cultural
groups is the root of many social problems today, and music is the
second silliest reason for it, religion and/or politics being tied for
first.

"garden-variety indie-rockers"
"indie-rock poseurs"
"jamrock-Hootie-and-white-jeep circuit"
"alt.indie-twang-noise-ugly-glasses circuit"

Oh please. Listen to whatever you like, attend whatever concerts you
like, and don't get so hung up on what other people think.
