IMHO, Indie isn't a sound, but an ethos.
Same as Punk. It's a state of mind that can encompass all the things under an umbrella of DIY...
OR
its also just a type of loud, aggressive music.
It's all in the eye of the beholder. So, when someone sez "Indie" I think of my friend Dan and his band, playing shows, putting out their own CDs w/ their own cash, making their own t-shirts to sell, and still working the day-shift. If anyone wants more info on this type of "Indie" here's a book for you:
Our Band Could Be Your Life.
