What is INDIE? You tell me.

[not_so_usual]

I am currently working on a project for my graphic design class, and it involves packaging a subculture. Now, whether or not you think of Indie as a culture or subculture is entirely up to you. I just want to know what you think INDIE is.

You can give me a definition. You can comment with photos. You can rant about suits. Whatever. I just want your opinion, and I will include it in the final project giving you full credit. If you want to be anonymous, that is fine as well. Just let me know.

So, what is INDIE?
