It actually originated with punk during the year 1970, is often associated with indie, with people in the scene being involved in bands, labels and nights. Indie often has an internationalist outlook branching from unification with other fans, bands and labels in other countries who share one’s particular sensibilities. Small indie labels will often distribute records for similar labels from abroad, and indie bands will often go on self-funded tours of other cities and countries, where those in the local indie scenes will invariably help organize gigs and often provide accommodation and other support.
