When I searched for Indie music I came up with several interpretations:
Indie is a word that is short for independent. When people talk about indie in music, they mean music that is made by people independently from major record labels (mainly rock and roll groups and artists).

as a scene: people who love indie love it for its music alone. they try to keep it small because they don't want it to be a huge scene, they want to keep it about improving the sound, that's why they know a million bands you've never heard it, they just want to find new things to improve the music.
Even among Indie music there are different types and I especially like this:
Indie folk is a music genre that arose in the 1990s among musicians from indie rock scenes influenced by folk music. Indie folk hybridizes the acoustic guitar melodies of traditional folk music with contemporary instrumentation.
Here is some Indie folk:

Indie music isn't a definite style of music, but most indie bands are influenced by each other causing a similar sound. the sound is melodic, the instruments are simple but well textured. usually includes a simple but original guitar riff, another guitar riff layered to complement it, bass doing the same, simple drum beat (but fitting the song well) either a keyboard or violin or something to bring out the underlying melody, and soft vocals, usually well harmonized. the lyrics are powerfully emotional (but not whiney). they spark emotion but they don't talk about how their lives suck (very tasteful)
