Indie artist are known for being critically more successful rather than chart successful, this is because they appeal to a more niche audience, this means that most people wont hear there songs, which means that they will reply on winning awards. The big names in the music industry are Q magazine and NME....Recently there has become a blur between pop and indie, now known as indie-pop, this is because indie artists are now getting main stream but they are still winning awards.
Also what has helped the blur has been radio 1 and 4music coming along and doing this like acts unsigned and giving unknown artists the chance to perform in large festivals.
