: The onus is on you provide sources that support your argument that are outside wikipedia. Wikipedia is a tertiary source, and should not be used. To date you have provided no instances in publication, news media or reliable sources that categorize Nine Inch Nails as "Indie Rock" or their operation as an "indie label." Furthermore, I'll reiterate that the "Indie" moniker is almost deeply associated with smaller acts that have not achieved prolonged mainstream attention. And in my opinion, the term is further diminished when used to describe bands such as Death Cab for Cutie who though are considered "indie rock" have been signed to a major record label and have worldwide distribution.
