Misusing the word 'indie.'

Post Body

I am a musician with a deep interest in film. The word indie comes up nearly as much as my own name.

And it's completely mind blowing the amount of people that do not know the definition of what it means to be 'indie.'

Indie is NOT - Being small, unknown or misrepresented.

Indie IS - Being INDEPENDENT, and unaffiliated with any one major company or production.

In recent years, especially with music, I've seen an influx of people seem to classify sort of alternative / non mainstream music as immediately indie. This, by definition, could not be more wrong, and is severely damaging to ACTUAL indie musicians.

I don't understand why anyone would get this wrong 🤦🏻
