In Popular music, independent music, often abbreviated as indie, is a term used to describe independence from major commercial record labels and an autonomous [8] Regarding the accusation, Ament later said that during his time with the band he had to work at a restaurant in order to pay his rent, while the other members were supported by their parents.
