So… I’m thinking about the whole idea behind this video you posted. You say things like “Indie is in,” “Be indie,” but isn’t that missing the point?

Many people would argue the point of “being indie” is that you don’t necessarily have to “be” anything, or “do” anything.

You just are. You are yourself, I am myself.

Let other people call us “indie.”

Yeah That’s the point!

There’s always another in. If you have to pick one, pick the one that is being real & yourself. If you don’t have to pick one, then awesome — maybe you already are indie

A good analogy (that I know you know about) is the emerging church. If you call yourself “emerging” - a movement identified by transcending the traditional denominations and labels - then are you really emerging anymore?

Sure! It doesn’t matter what your name/label is. It matters what you do — if you’re real and yourself, you can associate with any cause or trend you want. Just don’t do it for the sake of the trend, do it for the sake of being you!
