REFUTATION AND CONCESSION

Other people might say indie culture is improving and the public already awares it as a new, interesting culture and uses it a lot. They may support their idea through introducing how many people like indie musician 장기하와 얼굴들 or how many people watch indie film 워낭소리. I partially agree with that because we cannot deny that it is growing. They also point out that indien culture has maniacs. I also agree with that idea.

However, compring to main stream culture such as K-Pop, it is too slow to say it is growing well. We need to see the reality objectively. Also, maniacs are maniacs. Do you call fans of PSY or Bigbang as MANIACS? Becasue indie culture seems strange and odd, you call them maiacs. For these reasons, I do not believe current indie scene is communicating with the pulbic well. It should change.
