What is the definition of the stereotype indie?
it originally stood for independent music labels but nowadays it is defined by a type of music somewhere between rock and pop. Indie singers and bands have certain ethics like sticking to their roots and not embracing the celebrity money-grabbing culture. An Indie band is said to ‘sell out’ if they let their music be used corporately e.g on an advert or to be motivated by money rather than making music. Indie bands always write their own songs.
