See some of the best tweets from the likes of The Coral's Bill Ryder-Jones and John Prescott.

One day after Johnny Borrell trended for his "Landfill Indie" interview, #indieamnesty started to trend.

What followed was people sharing their most embarrassing and hilarious indie-related confessions, with rock stars joining in too.

Most people just used it as an excuse to share their indie sightings of yesteryear...

But it wasn't just mere mortals who got in on the hashtag, with ACTUAL Indie stars joining in on the fun...

And politician John Prescott joined in... in true John Prescott fashion:

But like all Indie trends, there's always someone who thinks they were into it first...

#indieamnesty is so over. I was into it hours ago, now it's just a lame sell-out.

Now who else wishes they could go back?
