well as I remember Indie was a phrase that came to circulation in about 1989/90 groups like jesus jones the godfathers even oasis and perhaps EMF ,(you could even include U2) they were rock bands with a funky drummer .at the time . now I think the boudrys are BLURRed (pardon the pun ) and anything goes .. which is a much more healthy situation .

The same is true of music -it has become an aural 'soup' of different styles. Unfortunately there are very few noodles around. The word 'indie' is no longer relevant. It has become the thing it set out to distance itself from.
