Indie rock is like... Artists under an independent label, not mainstream. The artists, basically, don't want to be controlled by a big record company, so they have complete control over what their music sounds like, and not who their label wants to market them to. To me it creates a less generic feel. Their usually learned about by word of mouth, college radio, or the internet. Not the mainstream market.

Antifolk takes the meaningful aspect of folk and makes it sound unpolished and raw. Like the person is singing from the heart, in their living room.
