One way to hold indie: picture a small group of people making something with nobody above them. No big company paid for it and no big company decides what it should be. Every meaning on this page is that same picture seen from a different side - the way of working, the company, the thing they made, or the sound that came out of it.
From the word’s history
Indie is a shortening of independent plus the ending -ie. The supplied source adds that it has been used of popular music since the 1980s, and of cinema for some decades before that. Independent of the big companies is still the whole of the modern meaning.
來源資料說 indie 是把 independent 縮短，再加上 -ie 這個結尾。它從 1980 年代開始用在流行音樂上，用在電影上還要更早幾十年。所以今天的核心意思其實沒有跑掉：就是「不隸屬大公司」。
