Indie Rock

Indie rock is an umbrella term to reference rock artists that are or were unsigned, or have signed to independent record labels, rather than major record labels. Originally the term was not a reference to a specific genre of rock music; however, it has come to be used often to reference the sound of particular bands and the bands they have influenced.

Again, I find it extreemly ironic that the top 8 most listened to bands for this tag are all signed to major labels.

"Joy Division? Shit? Idiot :)" When someone says something is "the shit," they mean it's good. Get ur slang right.

how do they tag most of this as indie.. modern indie rock does suck.. indie of the late 80s and 90s, more math rock or even post rock, is what belongs in this category... kings of leon? arctic monkeys? piss on this garbage.. you hard rock kids would love june of 44 or shellac.. try it before you dis it.
