啥叫indie pop呢？

Indie pop refers to indie music which is considered to be based on the conventions of pop music. The term is nebulous. Because indie rock is sometimes used to mean indie music as a whole, indie pop can be discussed as a sub-set of indie rock, but other times the terms are used to illustrate a pop-rock dichotomy within the indie music scene. The term is further blurred by disagreement over what qualifies as pop music. Pop is seen as being radio-friendly and disposable, two things that indie music generally eschews. Indie pop is thus the pop music that operates outside of the boundaries of conventional pop music. It is often lo-fi, or otherwise unusual.

Indie的称呼取自“independent”一词，被用在那些在音乐上坚持DIY（Do It Yourself）精神的乐队以及那些低预算的小厂牌所推出的唱片。

你可以把Indie Pop看作是一种更有旋律、更少吵杂以及更少焦虑的Indie Rock类型，它所折射的是地下音乐柔和、唯美的一面。Indie Pop的音乐更着重于声音的融洽、音乐的编排以及歌词的创作。在从Chamber Pop华美的管弦乐编曲到Twee Pop的简单直率中，Indie Pop所包含的一切，其焦点或者说这种音乐的侧重点一如都是歌曲多于声响。
尽管Indie Pop和Indie Rock都信奉朋克的D.I.Y（Do It Yourself）精神，但是前者反对朋克的虚无主义态度以及音乐上的声音碾磨处理。

最大的Indie厂牌会与主流厂牌有销售方面的交易，但是这些Indie厂牌的对于音乐的Decision－Making还是拥有绝对的自主权，因此他们有更多的自由去发现那些不为主流听众所知的音响、乐感或是其他的富有情感的主题，然而另一方面他们推出的这些音乐也许并不会带来和其音乐品味成正比的收益（即使是Indie厂牌其实也想在商业上能够坚持，并不是为了音乐而全然放弃商业，这里可以看出Indie是一个相对的称呼）。
