[Guest indiemusicfan]

I've been going to a lot of festivals and went with some of my friends to a Hmong Music Festival in California.  There are a lot of talented artists in the Hmong Music scene, especially one by the name of Jade Lee.  She is extremely talented, great potential. I was able to find some videos and original music from youtube.

I don't know what indie bands mean but some of those bands sounds familiar. For example, the band The Doors, The Beatles, and etc. I've heard some of their stuff. I've heard some of Metallica and Queen.

@Ernie

"Independent music (often shortened to indie music or indie) is music produced independently from major commercial record labels or their subsidiaries, a process that may include an autonomous, Do-It-Yourself approach to recording and publishing. The term indie is sometimes also used to describe a genre (such as indie rock or indie pop); as a genre term, "indie" may include music that is not independently produced, and most independent music artists do not fall into a single, defined musical style or genre and usually create music that can be categorized into other genres."

@Black_Meddle Oh, I thought it was Indian music or something. I noticed the list and I couldn't figured that out. I was too lazy to look it up or something.
