What is "indie"?

I'm sure this question has been debated endlessly here before, not to mention all over the rest of the internet, but I'm feeling poll-happy today.

I think the point is that it would be an "indie pop" night, because it is the very act of making the /bands/ rather than the /drinks/ the advertised feature that makes you "indie".

I.E. "indie" = "caring more about the music and who makes it than getting drunk cheaply", and thus "pop" = "who cares who the bands are, it's vodka and red bull for a pound WOOOOO"

Well, I feel sorry for pop. It deserves better!

Hehe! It's not MY definition, that's just how I'm interpreting it.

Maybe I should do another poll on "what is pop"?

Probably more suitable for a site called Poptimists!
