I've never liked calling something "indie pop"; just call it pop rock or chamber pop or folk pop or however you want to call it, but don't use a lame term like "indie"; that really doesn't mean anything outside of the month or year it's released in.

But it's useful as a catchall for college students of the 80s and early 90s that still like to listen to "non mainstream" music but would feel slighted if they were calling the music they like "college rock", as though it's not for them.
