Totally legit..
Indie rock technically just means it was written, performed, recorded, and produced by the artist without any executives making or suggesting changes. It's independant of the "system", but may rely on it for distribution.
As an art form I find it to be more legit than anything on the radio. A lot of it is derivative, but the gems out there are amazing.
That being said, listen to some of it and form your own damn opinion. Classical music may be considered an art form by most but I am rarely in the mood to appreciate it. When I am in the mood to listen to it, it can be incredible. When I'm not, it's can be annoying. Does it's "art-ness" have any bearing on whether it's good or bad? Fuck, no.
Like what you like, hate what you hate.... There's a time and place for every genre of music.
