A film, music, or other creative work produced independently by artists or small companies without major commercial studio or label backing.
Where the word comes from
"Indie" emerged in the 1970s as shorthand for "independent," particularly in music and film contexts. It described artists and labels operating outside major commercial studios and record companies. The prefix "indie" became so widely used that it solidified into its own word, eventually spawning "indie rock," "indie film," and similar compounds.
