& actually one of the sticks people who don't like it use to beat TS with (over at ILM for instance, where it just won their tracks of the year poll) is "ah she isn't nerdy/outcasty/indie ENOUGH to be singing this"
Which is ridic because - this is something I think "musically" got right - the song codes to me like someone on the second or third rung sighing over someone on the top rung, rather than someone who's off the ladder entirely resenting its existence.
(which is what you're saying too re. indiepop - so I'm agreeing I guess that no its not REALLY indiepop)
(i'd be amazed if there were any indiepop songs about fancying a mainstream girl/boy and feeling overlooked and rejected, actually)
