| | Indie (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A do-it-yourself sensibility, which originated with punk in the 1970s, is often associated with indie, with people in the scene being involved in bands, labels, nights and zines. | | | In terms of music, many adherents of indie collect vinyl records, and consider them to be more "authentic" than more recent and convenient music formats such as CDs. | | | In popular music, indie music (from independent) is any of a number of genres, scenes, subcultures and stylistic and cultural attributes, characterised by (real or perceived) independence from commercial pop music and mainstream culture and an autonomous, do-it-yourself (DIY) approach. |

| | Is file sharing killing indie labels? |
| | An indie label is typically more closely aligned to a particular sound than a major so there's probably more chance that if you like one band on a particular indie that you'll like another band on that same label. | | | Admittedly, my interest in "indie" stuff is pretty minimal: I'm more retro than ever, much more likely to buy music from before I was born than something up-to-date. | | | Using 'Is file sharing killing indie labels?' as the title gives too much credit to the assertion. |
