'pop' and 'indie' may seem contradictory, but i see it that 'indie' as an abbreviation of 'independent' originally referred to the music label (and thus type) the artist was signed on. 'Pop' does indeed come from 'popular', and while most things that are 'popular' are indeed different from 'small, obscure, eccentric' that doesn't necessarily make the terms mutually exclusive. if it makes you feel better, pretend 'pop' refers to the bubble in soda-pop. its happier indie.

"independent" and "pop" are NOT oxymorons, at least as far as music goes. all it means to be an independent band is that you're NOT on a label affliated with any of the big three (formerly four) major labels. there are plenty of independent labels that are large enough to release a popular record. that's all besides the point though - pop has come to describe a particular sound more than the degree of popularity. so indie pop is certainly a legitimate tag/genre.

pop = commercial sounding or marketed, indie = haven't got a clue these days, but you could say it's sounds that have been influenced by underground music from one time or another from the '60's onwards (including electronic music).Fake Underground (Shambling pop - John Peel called it).Just like psychedelic pop in the '60's - that wasn't the real thing either.NME / C86 you got alot to answer for.At least then it had an element of charm about it - now it is as bland as any other pop music that is around these days.

@bones2flesh Totally agree! Check out Phantom Vibration, another fine example of indie pop. http://soundcloud.com/phantom-vibration

Essentially, this is stuff that sounds like The Beatles. Ke$ha does not sound like The Beatles,
