Pft. Indie is what you make of it. The more you listen to other people the less independent you are.

SD4LIFE exactly, I think MOST Indie Bands are pretentious and god damn repetitive and tiresome, BUT, like SD4LIFE said, if they kick ass and don't need a label, that is what a REAL indie band is.

Unfortunately, an "Indie" band these days, is a group of people pretending to be a group of people who don't care about if they are a band, but rather, when no one is watching, they are a group of people who love the fact that they are a band.

So many pretentious people, but at least there is good music stuck between the mountains of "I want to be french" socialites.

I think inde has two defenitions, it origanally meant bands who did not have a musc label, but now people are recognising it as a genre.

surely the answer is independent, but independent from what is the question, my personal belief is that the musicians are doing what they do for reasons internal to themselvs such as self expression and without need or dependence of other sources of motivation such as fame or money just a thought

I think it's going a little too far to say '...bands that aren't out looking for attention, or money, or getting on MTV.' are the only ones who are indie. I'm sure quite a few indie bands would love to get their music video on tv or make some money.

I think sticking to what Ace_Aso said about independent labels vs majors is what indie is, and screw this whole 'indie as genre' crap
