indie) is music produced independently from
commercial record labels or their subsidiaries, a process
that may include an autonomous, do-it-yourself
approach to recording and publishing. The term indie is
sometimes used to describe a genre (such as indie rock
and indie pop), and as a genre term, "indie" may include
music that is not independently produced, and many
independent music artists do not fall into a single,
defined musical style or genre and create self-published
music that can be categorized into diverse genres.
How do you know if a song is
indie?
If it's on an unsigned band, it's indie. If
it's not, it's NOT INDIE. Indie stands for
"Independent". If the band is signed to a
record label, it's not independent.
