@thj Maybe people making a certain subgenre of pop music got popular among the indie scene so outsiders thought it was a musical genreMost popular "indie" artists are signed to labels nowadays, which I find hilarious 😂

@thj Oh yeah, I know what it literally means. But most people I know, myself included, who like and search for Indie music are really just looking for something interesting, something off the beaten path.
