Your favorite indie record label?

[CFH]

I'm a little confused over the term "indie". It means independant, right? But it tends to be used to describe a particular style of music. Guitar oriented pop/rock with emphasis on vocal harmony?

It seems to me the term indi used to be used to describe a band that handled it's own production/ distribution, but now we are talking about indi labels?

Don't mean to pick nits or anything, but humor me with your definition of an indie label.

Maybe a label that keeps costs down by not spending a ton on production and marketing? One that does not cater to the mainstream? A way for bands with limited exposure to get recorded without spending a ton of dough?

I HATE to use wikipedia as a source for anything, but this explains it pretty well: Independent record label - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
