No, not everyone chooses Indie bands to be, "unique". I like what they have to say, they cover matters that aren't as simple that most other stupid bands like Blink182 or whatever do, like for example, The Strokes or Rilo Kiley (who are amazing).
Somebody post really good Indie bands that they love so I can listen to them@_@

Who the hell said Indie isn't a Genre? Indie is completely a genre-_- are you joking me? It's a subdivision of rock...do you even know what it means?

they're indie because they're not good enough to get a record deal.
My favorite are
The Strokes (even if everyone has heard of them, I still love them)
Sufjuan Stevens
Tilly and the Wall (they're amazing, check it)
Rainer Maria (amazing, check it)
Ambulette (the best)
Regina Spektor
Rilo Kiley (more amazing than the others)
Team Sleep
Vanishing Act (a band that is really new and is also extremely awesome)

Look the thread is going to be over in 5 fucking seconds; The Best 'Indie' Band is...
THE BRIAN JONESTOWN MASSACRE.
They're the fucking Velvet Underground of the 90's and Anton Newcombe is like three Lou Reeds, he can play over 80 fucking instruments and is a musical genius and he's done more heroin than a scag-baron and he still looks like he's in his early 20's and he's just turned forty. They're fucking insane and if you disagree you voted for Hubert Humphreys and you killed Hendrix.
Um, okay, you can have fun listening to Fall Out Boy Mr. "Anonymous"...
Anyway...
You guys gotta check out Bright Eyes, Conor Oberst is simply amazing, he's a lyrical genious.
I'm so Indie, I rode my sisters bike to go shopping at value village, then i decided to get a job there.
Then I went to open mic night at the local coffee shop.
Um.......What is that supposed to mean? Like I said, emo music doesn't really have the most amazing lyrics...they usually just deal with Raw emotion, and Bright Eyes is basically like real true poetry, so what are you trying to prove?>_>

Indie actually means "independent rock", which is alternative music without a major label. It doesn't mean it's always a certain 'way' (like Industrial, or something)
Choosing artists/bands by their 'genre' is the worst way to explore music.
Also, 'emo' is the worst genre created ever. Fucking teenagers.
That's not completely true...I mean, it kind of is halfway, but
The Strokes are MAJORLY huge, so are the Subways, both are Indie, so it can also mean like, basic instruments, but not so basic sound, but most indie bands are, like you said "Independent rock" without super huge "we'll play your song in wal-mart for a quarter million dollar" labels >_>
