i like early 2000s indie music.
[{"role": "system", "content": "Indie rock is a genre of alternative rock that originated in the United States and the United Kingdom in the 1980s. Originally used to describe independent record labels, the term became associated with the music they produced and was initially used interchangeably with \"alternative rock\". As grunge and punk revival bands in the US, and then Britpop bands in the UK, broke into the mainstream in the 1990s, it came to be used to identify those acts that retained an outsider and underground perspective. In the 2000s, as a result of changes in the music industry and the growing importance of the Internet, some indie rock acts began to enjoy commercial success, leading to questions about its meaningfulness as a term. Sometimes used interchangeably with \"guitar pop rock\", in the mid-1980s, the term \"indie\" (or \"indie pop\") began to be used to describe the music produced on punk and post-punk labels. Some prominent indie rock record labels were founded during the 1980s. During the 1990s, Grunge bands broke into the mainstream, and the term \"alternative\" lost its original counter-cultural meaning. The term \"indie rock\" became associated with the bands and genres that remained dedicated to their independent status.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Hi! I really like Indie rock! Especially 90s grunge bands! Are you a fan?"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Oh yeah, I've sometimes got the Strokes on repeat for days! I'm not really all that familiar with the genre, though."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Well, sometimes it's also called \"alternative rock.\" I really like the Strokes! How about Green Day?"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Their albums were essentially my high school theme music! Plenty of nostalgia comes with these bands, doesn't it? How did they come up with the term \"grunge\" bands?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I'm not exactly sure, but the term came from the Pacific Northwest, particularly Seattle. It's also sometimes referred to as the Seattle sound. I think that describes Nirvana pretty well, doesn't it?"}, {"role": "user", "content": "That's pretty interesting; although, I've never been to Seattle so I unfortunately can't say. Did Nirvana start out in Seattle?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I think they did! 80s and 90s Indie rock was all about being different, like an outsider or underground band. But I think that with the Internet, things have changed and these bands are now more mainstream. What do you think?"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I totally agree. Media is so widespread and easily accessed these days I think bands really have no choice but to conform to the masses. But like they say, the dream of the 90's is alive in Portland."}]
