This v. good point and I think it is related to what dubdobdee said, insofar as there is a certain apology in "indie" vocals; where rock vocals can just be bad and not give a sh1t, indie is ever so 'umble about intruding on your musical world with what it nonetheless of course believes to be an earth-shaking masterpiece. Especially in the case of frontmen/women (who tend to be the vocalist) who must be self-effacing genii or whatever.
Of course, thisn't true of all indie at all (a lot is unashamedly cocky but I suppose that is when the indie/rock line thins?) but hrmm, the indie-as-a-genre-indie I think it quite possibly is a lot of the time.

I don't know if that made any sense.
