A genre of music that is oriented to shock. Though it is becoming harder to shock people these days because we have "seen it already". Music is usually heavy metal (Alice Cooper, Ozzy Osbourne, KISS) or Industrial metal (Rammstein, Marilyn Manson). But in the end its all just music. The performances were more meant to be shocking then the music itself.

Genre of music, nicknamed after the independent labels which support lesser-known bands. Typically, the independent labels allow more "musical freedom", which results in a truer, less cookie-cutter sound that mainstream listeners do not immediately identify with. Indie rock draws inspiration from bands such as the Beatles, The Velvet Underground, and Radiohead.
Many indie rock bands are characterized by the use of unique or less-popular instruments. Subjectively (since music is subjective), indie rock cds typically sound less "perfect" than mainstream music, which typically grabs the attention of indie rock enthusiasts.
Indie rock is a mixture of many other genres, including alternative rock, folk music, electronica, even pop. It also tends to be very positive music, despite popular opinion.

Punk is whatever you want, but isnt what I say it is. If I told you what punk was it wouldnt be right and if you told me youd be wrong. The music is only an expression of whats in the world and heart that created it.
"Punk is all about being who you are and saying fuck the rest of you"
"Punk is three chord songs played by garage rock bands in the late seventies"
