The term comes from the word indie independent, which means that free, independent. So, basically indie music can be defined as an independent music, independent of the mainstream, who hold fast to the authentic values, experimentalisme, anti-commercial, sometimes also an appreciation of world music against pop culture genre, in other words ... if you dare to be different I call it's cool to be different
If associated with a band, the indie band is a band with an independent, stand-alone, in terms of funding all expenditures, from the production, marketing until distribution.
Sometimes there is a misunderstanding with the term indie / indie bands, indie thought was one of the streams / genre of music. If according to my knowledge, indie bands have strong principles and ideals rooted in a musical, creative, issued free ideas and choose their own path without being bound from the commercial (major label) or virtually out of the mainstream music. Finance and manage his own band so sometimes seldom have a strong marketing links. Regarding the flow / genre of music chosen, in accordance with their ideals masing2. There was a pop, punk rock, metal, blues, or other alternatives.
Because it's cool to be different that sometimes there are some people who say indie band is a band that is not clear direction in music, what genre they created / bring. Oh no! Go ahead people found nothing, but clearly more honest indie music .. their work was started from a hobby, then finance itself, raise her voice inside your heart and be creative without the burden of set-set by the manufacturer ...
In development today, many creations of indie musicians who have container, forming an indie community. Which is very beneficial for their next trip to the music .. Lots of media were in use for distributing their works. For example over the Internet, music festivals (Indiefest), etc.. Because not bound and are not to be targeted by the sales copy like so many major Lable, indie bands feel no burden in creating.
In general, weve major band is stronger in terms of funding, as they were under the auspices of a commercial producer. But remember, many major bands that just make it a surprise, jacked instantly, once issued only one album but only one well-known singles, then evaporate no news for failing to compete in the music industry .. . Instead, why not a little indie band that got people capable marketing, royalties can be obtained even larger than the major band. Even now many successful indie band and got to go international until the big royalties.
Today, many major bands who proudly consider themselves indie (can say so because the rich already, the results of the major labels ..). Though they do not realize, a lot of things that make it difficult to claim to be indie ... Just because it departs from indie band, and as a benefit of ... whatever it is, they get the major label ... Well, after the success they profited off of the mayor and then claim to be indie bands. Hmmm ... so confused as to what's ya name ... Make confusing, especially for those who really indie band with all the independence they have.
Regardless of indie or major, if I personally judge a musical creativity from the seriousness of living it. Concentration with his works, be yourself better than having to tow a fame of others, until the force should be a plagiarist. Not just seeking fame and fortune wrote, eventually even make creativity be decreased, and eventually destroyed. If anything should be commercial and make a profession, it would be nice if not perfunctory, famous home, home sold .. but only for a moment ... not a quality that makes the band they will be able to take care of the audience, just passing through wrote ...
