indie

In music, a record label that is neither owned nor distributed by one of the large conglomerates (‘majors’) that dominate the industry. Without a corporate bureaucratic structure, the independent labels are often quicker to respond to new trends and are more idealistic in their aims. What has become loosely known as indie music therefore tends to be experimental, amateurish, or at the cutting edge of street fashion.
