I recently read an article that debated what it meant to be 'indie' in the music industry today. It looked at bands such as Dinosaur Jr., Arcade Fire and solo artist, Feist. All of these artists were at one point independent but are now signed to major record labels. So I beg to question, is it not every musician’s dream to make music, get signed to a label, become famous and acquire as many fans as possible? Why are we still debating what it means to be indie? Most indie groups still have a niche and a distinctive fan base anyway. I say stop asking questions and just start to enjoy the music. Who cares if the music you like is ironic, cool, independent, absurd or not - like what you want. I‘ll leave you with this, blog readers - my favourite Feist video:
