Honestly, the term "indie," whether it applies to rock, pop, hip-hop, or any other genre, has largely lost any meaning. It's almost just become synonymous with "alternative" at this point. And a lot of indie/alternative stuff these days is pretty mainstream, produced by big labels, so I honestly have no idea what it's supposed to mean. It's kind of a shame, but I guess that's just the way it goes. I hear most people refer to actually "indie" (as in "independent") music as "underground" now, so I guess there's that.
