 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.
Indie music scenes became important in the early 1980s, when the rest of the country caught up with punk rock music from New York and London.

 Radio Indie Rock
Radio Indie Rock was launched in June of 2003, because there was so much good music being made, and none of it made it onto the radio.
We picked the name Radio Indie Rock mostly because it had a nice ring to it, and as a snub to the major record labels, who sent their lackeys in the U.S. Congress to force our old station, Invisible Radio, off the air.
The result is the greatest band ever, and the birth of punk rock.
