Hmm probably more prog rock than indie, but what even are genres anyway?

Ya for sure. I think my brain refused to recognise "indie" and "classic" in the same sentence.

Indie isn't about genre, it's about production status.

Indie rock is most certainly a genre.

You're right. Indie being short for independent, e.g. shit some band records on the cheap, typically with little attention paid to production both during recording, and post. I'm not sure why people think it's a genre.
