Indie Pop is Pop music that was created by an artist either signed to an independent label or not signed to a label at all. Indie Pop often incorporates elements of Alternative music, but this is not always the case. Because of this, it is often conflated with Alternative Pop, but the main difference is that Alternative Pop can be made by any artist regardless of which label they’re signed to.
