Such usages of "indie" are inaccurate for various reasons: for one, stylistic qualities are often not accurately correlated to commercial independence or adherence to indie principles (this is particularly true when a sound becomes popular, its leading exponents are signed by major labels and more success-oriented bands and production teams attempt to imitate the style; this ultimately culminates in commercially-driven artists such as Avril Lavigne sporting the same stylistic traits the "indie" artists of a year ago had)." |
