I do think it takes the edge of coolness from indie though, you are definitley not an outsider or underdog if you have thousands of friends who share the passion and can contact very easily... Asaf Hey Jon,

thanks for the comment, don’t get me wrong I think that bottom line is that new media is better for indie culture, both in finding content and finding friends who passions. I do think it takes the edge of coolness from indie though, you are definitley not an outsider or underdog if you have thousands of friends who share the passion and can contact very easily…

Asaf

While it is true that the enormity of online content creates a long tail environment, and social media encourages the push of long tail content up to the fat belly (due to the nature of social interactions - we all want to go where everyone else is heading), I don't know that Indie culture will become mainstream. Indie culture will certainly grow due to a diversity of choices, but we will continue to center our time and efforts largely around common interests. The Superbowl will remain the largest TV event of the year in the US, even as the culture continues to go digital and "new" media. New media opens doors, but it doesn't destroy learned social/anthropologically learned behaviors. Isn’t New Media all about the long tail?
