Tiggi is quite correct in his evaluation of the term and where it came from.
i remember vividly back in the 1980's that the NME used to print the regular charts and the Indie charts in their weekly paper, bands like the Smiths,Joy Division,New Order,Depeche Mode,Frankie Goes To Hollywood etc were regulars in the top 20.
nowadays the term "indie" is a copout for another Genre!....why, i dont know, but unfortunately we are stuck with it.
