Indie, short for Independent, is a music genre that is still in the underground but still insanely popular among that underground. I see people out at normal jobs that just listen to the radio and listen to the next big thing and still haven't heard of the biggest of the indie bands i.e. modest mouse, the shins, belle and sebastian. but these bands are insanely popular among the indie underground... but not only that indie and folk music is all over corporate consumerism. Just about every car, soap, phones, clothes, bank, tax products have a crooning voice and a banjo in the background. This is odd to me because this music isn't on the radio and the people that watch all this tv have no idea that the music in these commercials are real bands with real albums and real followings.
I guess the reason that these underground bands with virturally no radio play and no video play on mtv is all over the commercials is because the bands that are infecting the radio don't need the money and the indie bands do...well less than lil wayne does of course. I'll just keep listening to my miles davis cds and new the arcade fire and drink PBR because its good, not cause its the next big thing.
