"Indie" is short for "independent."

One explanation.

One source for a listing of artists, and another.

 

[just-some-guy]

It seems to be sort of a negative genre in that you can define what it is NOT but not what it IS. If you can't figure out another genre and the performer isn't real big on the Pop chart, they just might be an indie band. That's not a criticism, because I generally prefer indies to mainstream.
