Snippet No. 3: What Are “Indie” Artists, Anyway, and Why Do They Matter?

Whenever I pitch the Artists on the Verge podcast, I’m forced to use the term “indie artist” because I can’t seem to find another shorthand for the kinds of artists I’m speaking to. It’s a term which isn’t perfect and does have some baggage, so here I explain what I mean by it and why I think it’s particularly important to talk about this kind of artist, now.

🎥 This Snippet is also available as a kind of video essay on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/Unhh2ENsOhU
