Indie Label Has An Identity Crisis
- The indie label has broadened and now suffers an identity crisis as meanings diverge.
- That ambiguity makes it hard for founders to know which behaviors the label encourages.

- Today many indie founders have access to new funding and tools, so 'indie' no longer implies the same constraints.

- The indie label now includes a wide spectrum: niche bootstrappers to creators and VC-funded teams.
- That range blurs identity and makes expectations inconsistent across the community.
