indie music isnt a difinite style of music, but most indie bands are influenced by each other causing a similar sound. the sound is melodic, the instruments are simple but well textured. usually includes a simple but origanal guitar riff, another guitar riff layered to complement it, bass doing the same, simple drum beat (but fitting the song well) either a keyboard or violin or something to bring out the underlying melody, and soft vocals, usually well harmonized. the lyrics are powerfully emotional (but not whiney). they spark emotion but they dont talk about how there lives suck (very tastefull)
as a scene: people who love indie love it for its music alone. they try to keep it small because they dont want it to be a huge scene, they want to keep it about improving the sound, thats why they know a million bands you've never heard it, they just want to find new things to improve the music, but with anything good, dumb high school kids will ruin it. and most definitions on this site are of those igorant little kids, not indie fans

Music that is 176/88 BPM electronic dance music dominated by 808 bass lines, minimal synths and B'More inspired vocals.
The genre was created by Dr. Dabs (Mark Sandstorm) & Steezy Nicks with heavy if not all influence from works by Yheti (aka YhetiMaster).
There are a very specific set of rules to making this style of music which help to differentiate it from other genres such as Trap. These rules are as follows and are based off of a general honor system:
- Tempo: 176/88 BPM
- Time limit: 6 Hours
- 808 Bass lines
- Intros and outros should be very minimal and have only drums and a couple samples scattered so as to make DJ'ing simple in any format..
- Ghetto inspired samples and vocals
- Most if not all sounds are Eq'ed so as to not include any bass in the mix which helps to make room for the 808 to ring without interference.
-This style pulls its influences from from Rap, Hip Hop, Drum and Bass, Trap, B'more, House, and ChipTune.

Musical theory is vital knowledge for anyone wishing to compose music involving more than half a dozen instruments. It is recommended knowledge for anyone wishing to arrange music for more than half a dozen instruments. Anyone who writes music for more than about half a dozen instruments without knowledge of musical theory is inevitably either writing an arrangement of a simpler piece or composing modern music.
Serving suggestion: Musical theory best served with at least 2 years experience with actual musical instrument.

Music (normally) played with guitars bass and drums. A way to "stick it to the man"
You can't really say who started rock music, some people may argue it was Elvis others may say it was The Beatles. Its like that everlasting question, why did the chicken cross the road?
