i think it now has little to do with the actual record label, though most indie bands are very small, and thus don't receive recognition from bigger labels.
but often on bigger labels, they might be forced to change their style...so with indie you are getting exactly what the artists want.
and yes, it tends to be quirkier and sound a certain way (though there are many "indie" facets)
hmmmm. I thought Indie was just another term for Independent music.

it doesn't mean anything. it's the word 'alternative' making a comeback because 'indie' is not really cool anymore?
