The word "indie",comes from the term "Independent", and it's refers anything, generes, cultures and so on, and an approach that's would mean "do it yourself".
Indie = unique, independent, innovative, he.
Indie, usually it refers to artist or band that doesn’t always follow fashion, and he does his music without any influence.
During 20’s, the big northamericans multinationals were challenged by a lot of little record company called “independents”, but to the end of 20’s, this records companys were closed.
This term, retorned in 50’s, when record market was adjusted by songs and his performers. The big records company payed performer for make up songs and after, they picked up the songs to other singers for perform this songs. ASCAP born, (American Society Of Composers, Authors and Publishers) and the components protected all his songs. For them, it was bad that music like Indie could be listened in Radio, and they censured any music that it comes from Independents singers or bands.
Illegal Radios were created, and one asociation against ASCAP, with the name of BMI (Broadcast Music Incorporated), it represented a lot of performers and editors that they had been censured. The ASCAP did all posible for the music Indie didn't triumph, but the Indie was already inside the country (USA).
To the end of 80’s begin to born bands like The Pixies, Yo La tengo, Sonic Youth.. and they mix rock, punk, pop..
From Nirvana, Indie mix new styles like, Slowcore, Emocore, Folk, Surf...
In the last years, Indie has growed, there are festivals around the world, (FIB, Contempopranea, IndyRock…). Indie, today, is very importance in the musical world, and I think, it’s a very good reward.
Actually, Indie’s a large term, although more defined that 90’s, and Indie bands are the bands that edits his CD’s in multinationals, or in another stamps: The Strokes, Dead cab for cutie, Oasis, The Kooks, Arctic Monkeys, La habitación roja, Interpol, The Killers, Muse, Los planetas, Deluxe, Wilco, Franz Ferdinand, Sidonie, Kaiser Chiefs… they be a little part of many bands that continues that other people began.
