    indie and indie rock are two different things..indie is used mainly for underground bands who’re working independently without any record label or under a record label which they created on their own(d.i.y).indie rock is a type of music which can be mellow,a little pop-ish with great and meaningful lyrics.there’re a lot of types of indie music,there are power pop,shoegazing,experimental indie and a lot of other stuff.
