Indie doesn't mean underground or genre defying, I think you missed my point, because I specifically listed indie artists with enormous success instead of smaller artists to show some of its mainstream appeal. If you googled any of these, "indie," "indie rock," of "indie pop" will show up as their genre. Indie is an umbrella word and vague style, a band doesn't become non-indie after becoming popular.
And damn I doubt my parents would know more than maybe two of these
I was differentiating between the music on OP's list and other mainstream music more people listen to. But most people listen to plenty of less popular songs too. If I listed artists with under a million monthly streams that obviously wouldn't represent many people besides maybe my friends and I, because there's practically limitless amounts of small artists
Depends on how you define it. The indie definition has shifted recently away from definitions relating to record labels/production companies (which would put Mac Demarco in the runnings) and into a definition more closely related to alternative, which has made the label pretty meaningless. So yeah, true, the definition is very malleable.
I disagree that many people listen to stuff much smaller than artists putting in a million. I'm always perusing for new music so I ask a lot of people what they're listening to at the moment - even total strangers. I don't tell them this to their face, but it seems to be a bit of a monolith.
