indie music and dive bars

Indie Music:

In popular music, independent music, often generally abbreviated as "indie", is a term used to describe independence from major commercial record labels and an autonomous, Do-It-Yourself approach to recording and publishing.
Independent labels have been known to strive for minimal influence on the artist they represent, avoiding the artist-cultivating behavior of many major labels. Artists represented by Independent labels have been known to be focused more on producing music than becoming wealthy and/or well known.

Dive Bars:

Modern day people would refer to a “dive bar” as a less main stream bar. The opposite of popular night clubs. A dive bar has a tendency to have a more laid back atmosphere, with less need for a dress code. Many dives are rougher around the edges, yet uphold a frequent crowd or regular patrons.
