indie
This term functions as a shorthand for independent, carrying a strong cultural connotation of authenticity and artistic freedom. While it originally described the business model of avoiding major corporate labels, it has evolved into a stylistic descriptor. In modern usage, something can be described as indie even if it has significant funding, provided it maintains a non-mainstream or experimental aesthetic.
As a noun, the word is typically used as a collective or mass noun to describe a genre or category of art. It is rarely pluralized in the sense of counting individual indie works; instead, one would refer to indie films or indie games to specify the items being discussed.
Meanings
Produced independently from a major commercial studio or record label, often characterized by a non-mainstream or experimental style.
Music or film that is produced independently of major commercial studios or labels.
