My girlfriend likes stupid, crappy, mainstream emo kid cry rock. I can't stand it.

I'm getting disillusioned with popular rock. Give me some good indie bands! Underground! Good stuff!

Muse are mainstream.

I'm guessing OP wants some actual indie rather than Pitchfork-esque twee, in that case, try Hüsker Dü, Slint and Sonic Youth.

17 Name: ♪ ☆ Anonymous Popstar ☆ ♪ : 2009-01-18 16:42 ID:Heaven

Spiderland by Slint is one of the most boring albums I've ever heard.

I don't know if they really have any Indie cred, they might be on a big lable, but they aren't that mainstream. Listen to Idiot Pilot. The are more lo-fi and chillout, but some songs are upbeat.

Telstar Ponies. Brooding 90s Scottish indie. Pretty intense, and flirts with what would later become "post rock".

Bad indie is men with beards staring at their shoes making funny noises.

Smith Westerns might interest you. Even though their singing is an acquired taste, the instrumentals are really catchy.

This is a local band from my town. Awesome guys. Great sound. Check them out, you might enjoy them.

Left are their attempt at an 8-bit-esque sound. The right are 3 of their original recordings. You can probably find more through their facebook (http://www.facebook.com/JPandLG).
