history: I love independent music. It seems to draw me in more than commercialized music.
knowledge: The term ''indie'' is sometimes also used to describe a genre (such as indie rock and indie pop); as a genre term, ''indie'' may include music that is not independently produced, and most independent music artists do not fall into a single, defined musical style or genre, and usually create music that can be categorized into other genres.
response: Oh, really? "Indie" can refer to a genre, like indie pop or indie rock, in which case it may include artists who are not independently produced. Do you have a favourite indie band or singer?

I love underground hip hop as well as alternative. My favorite group is the Arctic Monkeys.
knowledge: In the United Kingdom during the 1950s and 1960s, the major record companies had so much power that independent labels struggled to become established.
response: Ah, OK. Back in the 1950s and 1960s major labels in the UK wielded so much power that indie labels couldn't' get traction.

Its really sad because we don't get to hear a lot of the most talented bands.
knowledge: In the United States, independent labels and distributors often banded together to form organizations to promote trade and parity within the industry.
response: That's too bad. In the US, however, indie labels would band together to promote trade and parity in the recording industry.

I think that's may be helpful. I think we need to open our minds when it comes to accepting other music. Everything seems so traditional now.
knowledge: Several British producers and artists launched independent labels as outlets for their work and artists they liked, but the majority failed as commercial ventures and were swallowed up by the majors.
response: That's an interesting idea. In the UK, several producers and artists would launch their own labels, but they would mostly just end up being bought out by the major labels after failing.

That is all they want to do is control all the money. They are not concerned at all of the type of music they release as long as it is ''catchy''.

response: Going back to the genre topic, most actual independent artists don't find themselves in any specific genre or musical style.
