Jordan Davis expands on the the punk-indie-alt lineage: "I don't hew to the Greil Marcus line, but I rather like his conflation of the Munster Rebellion with punk—a reformation within the reformation which Luther was very clear about putting down. This of course begs the question, who's my indie Luther. I dunno, Alex Chilton? Not enough of a suck-up. Let's ignore the begged question and look instead at the institutionalization of indie as alt. Or, let's not."
