Indie music has become so much more encompassing. It’s not just music that comes out on independent labels, it speaks to an aesthetic that deviates from the norm and follows its own eccentric mind. It comes in rock, pop or folk form. In a way, it speaks as much to the people who are drawn to it as it is to the people who make it.
