In popular music, indie music (from independent) is any of a number of genres, scenes, subcultures and stylistic and cultural attributes, characterised by perceived independence from commercial pop music and mainstream culture and an autonomous, do-it-yourself (DIY) approach.

Indie means independent and generally means they don't have any songs on the top100 Billboard charts and signed to any major labels. It's also called alternative.

ok
it used to mean "independant record label" but then it turned into a genre that is not well known, independant or whatever. it can usually mean anything. most people now associate it w/ alternative rock. when people usually say indie they meann alternative.

independent! there's not exactly a name for the style so they just call it independent or indie

"indie" as in independant. Like nothing out there today, the musicians own thing.
