That is precisely why I hate this term. People label music as "indie". THERE IS NO GENRE CALLED INDIE! I can listen to a metal band that's not signed to a major record label and they'd be ZOMG independent too!indie is just short for independent so music not on a large record label or a movie not made by a large production company
people will always make bad music and movies whether its called indie or not
But yeah, generally, anything that is listed as "indie" pretty much sucks.
