Listening to this supposedly human-curated playlist featured in the Indie section of Apple Editors playlists. I would love to talk to the person who made this playlist, because there is hardly anything "indie" on it. Half the songs I've heard so far play non-stop on the radio. Not to mention it's mostly hip-hop. Maybe indie is now hip-hop radio pop? Go ahead and see for yourself.
 
The definition of indie is very broad... it simply means independent artist. Indie can include rap, electronic, really any genre; it's not just alternative or singer / songwriter.

You must not have looked at the playlist. I think we can all agree Kanye West is not Indie.
