It's become one of those terms that used to mean something and was eventually appropriated to describe a "style". Whenever you tell anyone you're an "indie" artist now, it's kind of assumed you'll have a purposely bad-sounding recording with some yelping, no discernible melody, and a disco beat :) Thanks for posting that, it’s always bugged me.

There is definitely a certain aesthetic around the term "indie". What's interesting is how this aesthetic or definition may vary depending on what artistic perspective you have - musician, record label, clothing designer, film maker, actor, fan, etc. The community here on Indyish is constantly pondering and re-inventing what defines an indie.

But, I guess what I was writing about was how people commonly perceive the term 'indie' and how it has come to mean a certain sound or aesthetic rather than it meaning what it was originally intended to mean... independent.
