Up until a couple years ago, I thought indie music just meant musicians working with an independant record label.
Seemed kind of silly to make it it's own genre. I know there is a certain sound, and characteristic that is shared by a lot of indie bands, but I can go on my ipod right now, and find just as many bands with the indie label, that sound completely different.
Don't really care for calling that stuff "indie rock" anyway. When I put stuff on my ipod I file proggresive rock, indie rock, hard rock, alternative rock, etc under one category. Rock. Because that is what it is. And I love rock.
Stupid hipsters, and their sub-sub-sub-genreing.
