yeah I know. Not arguing.

Just stating that "Indie" comes from the genre of 80s American guitar bands that were signed to American indie labels - Pavement etc

I hate indie anyway. Used to like it, but it's way too pop these days.

All style, no substance. Skinny jeans, Toni and Guy hair do, a few dodgy guitar songs - your in an indie band

I don't know what point is trying to be made here about music scenes. surely you can listen to whatever you like, not what a scene dictates to you.

Music scenes come and go, and it is pretty narrow minded to follow what is currently fashionable. well written songs and good music transcend that, right?

[cjmooney9]

shut up alternative music is not liked by the masses hence alternative, and indie means individual. you can like pop if you want just don t wine at every one else

"Indie" means signed to an Independent label.

There are no indie labels in the UK. It's an american thing.

Even Domino/Creation are owned by the big boys. Universal/Sony BMG i'm told

There are plenty of Independent Labels in the UK. We are on Stolen Recording which is entirely independent.

We receive no major support or funding. The majority of our peers in the industry are on 'independent' labels who are controlled my major labels.

It means we have control over what we do and how we do it. Our videos, all our art work and most importantly concentrating on writing the best songs we can.

factory records is the unofficial birthplace of indie joy division a certain ratio durrutti column not american, full artistic freedom no questions asked the only responsibility was to distribute the records , blue monday record sleeve cost more than it made per copy, one of the highest selling eps of all time, not a marketing machine
