Independent music, also known as indie music, is produced independently from major record labels and involves a DIY approach. Some popular and successful indie bands include The Strokes, who were signed to Rough Trade Records. Indie labels like Creation Records and Factory Records in the UK helped launch bands in the 1980s-1990s through their unconventional approaches, though some faced financial struggles. Indie music videos often have low budgets but emphasize originality, narrative, and visuals that complement the song. The target audience for indie music and videos is typically teenagers and young adults who relate to the genres themes of self-discovery and belonging.
