Indie: Independent music (often shortened to indie music or indie) is music produced independently from major commercial record labels or their subsidiaries, a process that may include an autonomous, Do-It-Yourself approach to recording and publishing. While the term indie is sometimes used wrong as if it were a music genre, independent music artists do not fall into a single, defined musical style or genre and usually create music that can be categorized into other genres.
Is Melanie C an indie artist? Yes, she is. Are Coldplay an indie band? No, they aren't.
It is not my fault if you just can't understand what indie means.

IMO indie arguably, it is now actually a "genre" of music - not describing the style of music, but the general effort behind it. indie artists/bands, whether it's rock, pop, hip hop, etc., are generally out to make music first and money second. the music isn't created *to* make money, as it is with the big labels (generally), where producers figure out what will sell (that particular week) and then shape artists into that particular mold.
not to say that money isn't important to indie artists, but it's a means to continue creating music..
