Yeah, I'd agree with much of that. A cross between the likes of the over-twee Sarah being so off-putting rather and then the likes of Oasis becoming so mainstream. There was a point when the Brits and NME's Brat awards were basically the same.
The early 90's is probably when the Indie scene died (or maybe disappeared is a better word) for me. It had always featured some things I liked (Factory, Zoo, some of the C86) and some I didn't (I couldn't stand things like Talullah Gosh!), but post-say '92/93 I'm struggling to remember an indie scene like there had been when the last lot either moved on (PJ Harvey) or disappeared (New FADS).
