Title of Journals/Publication: What is Indie Music? The Sideline Sports & Culture
URL Address: https://thesidelineobserver.com/2018/11/03/what-is-indie-music/

Main idea:
Indie music is independent and can be classified with different kinds of genres like alternative rock, indie rock or sometimes even pop depending on the artist or the style of the song. The lyrics of this genre can usually have deeper meaning than usual. As said in the evidences artists are poetic and sometimes depressed, making indie music a little darker than common rock music.

Evidences that support the main idea:

“Literally speaking, indie is used simply an abbreviation of the word ‘independent.’ This means that indie artists are those who produce music independently from a commercial record label. Naturally, this classification of indie includes artists of numerous genres and exists separately from the colloquial way in which indie is often used to describe acts such as Tame Impala and Mac Demarco. The latter refers to alternative rock, which has gradually merged with indie rock through extensive overlap (many indie rock artists can also be categorized as alternative rock, and vice versa). This has created a tremendous contradiction: many ‘independent rock’ artists do not work on independent labels.”

“This oxymoronic quality of indie music is a result of some exceptionally strong common musical threads between various artists throughout the years. The genre’s tendency towards introspective, depressed, and poetic frontmen can be traced back to a few key individuals. Prolific singer-songwriter and recent Nobel Laureate Bob Dylan offers perhaps the first example of this. Dylan’s ambling prose and rather whiny tone created the framework of indie music for generations of thoughtful artists.”
