As every musician knows, categorizing music is a necessary exercise that society demands. I have done my very best to categorize the contacts in The Indie Bible as to not offend anyone. The sections are based upon the "primary" musical style that each site lists as their preference.

There is a large amount of genre "bleeding" from section to section. This means that if you are in a punk band, you will not only find sites that cater to your needs in the "Punk" sections, but you will also find a number of sites that welcome your style of music in the "Metal" and "Mainstream" sections. You can even find some sites that welcome punk music in the "Experimental" sections.

This crossover is especially true with the "Mainstream" radio stations. The majority of the stations listed in the "Mainstream" sections are college or university stations that have a show catering to EVERY style of music (Country, Hip Hop, Death Metal, Goth, Pop, Jazz, Industrial etc).
