Can anyone tell me what indie music is? I keep seeing this label thrown around and I’m not clear what it is implying. Is it a genre, a style of music? Or is it more of a description of how the music is recorded? Or even the disposition of the artist toward music? (these are all descriptions i’ve come across but they aren’t very satisfying).
indie music originally meant artists who were on independent labels, regardless of the genre
however these days, it’s more often used to describe indie pop or indie rock music – bands who play rock or pop music but are not signed by the big record companies. examples include arctic monkeys, the pixies
it can kind of be a disposition of the artist towards music; indie artists generally don’t do it to be popular and make music, but for the love of music

indie music means independent music. It is used to describe genres, scenes, subcultures, styles, and other cultural attributes in music, characterized by their independence from major commercial record labels and their autonomous. Indie artist are more into whatt they call "self-expression thing".
**(from urbandictionary–>)**A genre of music where a band writes there own music. And they are not popular. They usally consists of young white males. Most idiots would call it "alternative".
