pre·ten·tious

"a pretentious literary device"

The brand of indie is most certainly pretense, whether or not it's of value or good is lost by the "genius visionaries breaking through the facade of mainstream blah blah".

There is a market for it, that's really as far as the thought goes for some.

Working with "indie" game developers, I don't see any of this nonsense as accurate for such wide range of creations. People are using some documentary or scandalous news or the trend of labeling and hating "hipsters" to stereotype a games instead of trying games they haven't heard of before, often handcrafted by passionate and self-disciplined designers and artists, a range that includes titles that have just as great of chance of being terrible or fantastic as "AAA" games, which is another term stereotyped as much or more than "indie".
