I...don't think so. Indie rock has a distinctive sound to it. Just because it isn't underground doesn't mean it's indie. There are numerous genres that are underground that aren't indie.

Indie music is not a genre. Indie is a label, short for independent. Meaning they're not signed to any music company.

So... there's no REAL indie music, really. If it's indie it's just that, really... indie. It just is.

Partially, I agree. But I do agree with Jake when he says indie rock has a distinctive sound to it.

It's definitely turned into a genre.

Indie music isn't a genre - however, there are some genres / subgenres with the term indie used in them, and like Jake said they have their own distinctive sound to them.

Indie was mostly term given to those early alternative rock bands that did not assign to a major label.

These bands were mostly belong to the Psychedelic and Shoegaze scene. But now, it has become a genre of its own, distinct from psychedelic or shoegaze.
