Research #2 into the Indie World

Quoted from a website that takes the piss out of music and different stuff, these are the facts about Indie. It is of course exaggerated, but still a kind of the truth:

Just The Facts

1. "Indie music" is a term most commonly associated with unsigned or minor label bands that have a folk/alt/rock/electronic sound.
2. In addition to liking music that nobody else does, the one thing that unites the indie scene is a willingness to wear clothes nobody else would be caught dead in.
3. The favored environment for indie music culture is festivals; however it can be found in clubs, thrift stores and Urban Outfitters.

Also from that website, a questionaire about indie bands that again makes jokes of indie artists, but again contain some true facts about especially indie fans. Eg that the less famous the band is the cooler it is and when they get famous they're not cool anymore and the fan behaves really cocky about knowing them since aaaaagesss.

I think, the point I'd like to make is that my invented artist Peter & The Wolf can be both indie (INDEPENDET and INDIVIDUAL) but signed with a successful music label and is aiming for the Charts! Because that's what it is about. Of ocurse all the indie bands just have this great passion about their music but if no one listens to it, they cant afford to make music anymore. Somehow.

And in the eyes of the fan he can still identify himself with Peter's personality that gives the consumer the Indie experience.
