what's indie songs, indie movies, indie stores, etc??

"Indie" stands for "independent." An "indie" movie is usually one that was not financed by a major studio; an "indie" store is one that is not part of a big chain. I don't know about "indie" songs. Perhaps this is the same as so-called "alternative" (i.e. exactly what all the other kids are listening to in order to seem rebellious while conforming slavishly to their peers' norms. )
