What is Indy music..........?

There is a lot of history to the origin of indie music. Mostly a struggle for independents against major monopolies ended in independents emerging with new underground sounds. Indy is a shorten formed of independents. There is no real form of indie but generally ociated with underground such as punk or grunge. Today the internet has opened the opportunity for the independent artist to share his music with the world without being subjected to the judgment of a company thus cirventing Payola which was deemed falsely nonexistent after exposure many years ago. It continued none the less. Jute box companies and radio stations would accept fees to promote your music. If you didn't have a sponsor or money no one was going to hear you. Access to the music world has changed so much it is difficult for musicians to get revenue for their creations. However a small percentage of the revenue that came in for the musician was from the sale of the records. So now the artist must rely entirely on personal appearances due to theft of services via the internet.
