Oddly, I *was* an indy scenekid until maybe a year ago. I don't have the time, energy, or money to keep up with the scene (since it changes approximately every 2 seconds) and really have no desire to anyway.

Apparently I look the guy who is coolest

[The OP]

Beth Ditto should've been number one. I don't even like the Gossip that much, but Beth personifies rock'n'roll attitude more than anyone else in popular music that I know of.

[Deleted]

I have no clue who most of the people on there are.

Though I see Prince is on there, he should've been #1.
