Isn't indie to do with the record label the band is attached to? Sorry, but I've always wondered.

Indie is a made up label like alternative. It's a catch all for bands that sounds, well, indie.

yes, it means on an independent label or an indie, sometimes confused with emo, and has an indie sound. Isn't we are scientists indie?

I disagree. Indie means that a band is either on a tiny or self owned label. But now people seem to take it as a term which means upbeat 'pop-rock with stupid hair cuts' or something.

Indie isn't some pop-rock band or whatever. There bands that are just small, you find them through searching through at least 5 pages of google and they're just signed by little as NTE said "Self owned labels".
Like J.E.L.L.I., one of the best indie bands out there but not a lot of people know about them which is saddening because they're really good.

Lol.
Indie is quite a depressing genre really. An indie band has the choice of going through their career never getting anywhere (although i guess some people want that) or going mainstream/getting big and not being classed as indie any more. They just can't win.
