Independent music

Independent music (also commonly known as indie music, or simply indie) is music produced independently from commercial record labels or their subsidiaries; this may include an autonomous, do-it-yourself approach to recording and publishing.

This article is about independently-produced music. For the "do-it-yourself" music aesthetic associated with indie, see Lo-fi music. For other uses, see Indie music (disambiguation).

As a genre term, "indie" may or may not comprise independently produced music. Many independent music artists do not fall into a single defined musical style or genre, with their self-published music being able to be categorized into diverse genres without the expectations associated with commercial music.
