Indie sounds nothing like Oasis, and is mostly based on a more garage rock sound, not the anthemic "big" Oasis sound. However, within the "Indie" genre, there are many differing sounds, from Sufjan Stevens' folky singer-songwriter style to dance-rock & '80s-inspired The Bravery. Belle & Sebastian is also a leading indie band, and they sound nothing like Oasis nor have a "whine".
