Jon Blaze is doing excellent work in starting some good music-genre threads, but so far there hasn't been a thread about indie rock, postpunk, lo-fi pop and all the other hipster snob genres 
. Time to rectify this situation!
Most of these videos are pretty low-budget, but that's what indie culture is all about!
<grumpy-old-scenester>Or was all about, anyways.</grumpy-old-scenester>
Some classics from my two favorite bands:
Guided By Voices, "I Am A Scientist"
Guided By Voices, "The Official Ironmen Rally Song"
Guided By Voices, "My Valuable Hunting Knife"
Guided By Voices, "Auditorium / Motor Away"
The Fall, "Totally Wired"
The Fall, "Fifteen Ways"
The Fall, "Victoria" (Kinks cover!)
The Fall, "Wings"
No videos were made from my single favorite album, Pavement's Slanted & Enchanted, but here's some 1992 live footage of "Trigger Cut".
And if you like it raw, loud and rackety, don't miss this recent footage of Lightning Bolt. Note that all that noise is made by just two guys. Video (and recorded audio) don't do 'em justice; there is only one word to describe the Lightning Bolt live experience, and that word is :shocked::shocked::shocked::shocked::shocked:.
