According to Webster, Indie means when you're not affiliated with a commercial organization.
However, once you start making #1's, top 5's, top 10's, selling millions of singles/albums, and getting awarded on televised big time venues, then you are essentially a mainstream/commercial act.
Taylor Swift is signed to an indie label, but you would have a hard time convincing anyone that she's "indie".
You can only reclaim your indie title once you start to bomb.
Indie isn't a genre, just people use it as that which is annoying as ****
