Mohammad Istiqamah Djamad alias Is Pusakata highlighted the misunderstanding of the perspective on indie musicians or those outside the major label.

According to him, both indie musicians and major labels are both doing business. So, it doesn't make sense if someone appointed an indie musician as a pure artist who doesn't do business.

"What's wrong (including the label)? Sorry, if you can say rude, I mess with children who are too popular with indie musicians. I don't want to be called an indie musician either," said Is Pusakata, launching Authenticity ID, Friday, December 29.

"No one hundred percent, why is everything doing business now, merchandise, yes, taking care of publishing, what's the difference? You're actually educated now. How long do you want to play music under the stadium stairs? " he continued.

Is quoted Cholil's statement from the Greenhouse Effect that said indie musicians were musicians who were present to provide new alternatives for music listeners. However, this is actually seen as wrong by his fans.

"Now there is a misunderstanding, (called) dusk musicians. I immediately regret making such songs, when viewed from here. Culture is so if it's not dusk, it's not fun," he said.

Furthermore, the former Payung Teduh personnel gave an example of how Green Day as an indie band in the United States is also managed by certain business means.

"I'm Punking, and the spirit isn't like this. There are business people behind Green Day who can make them survive now," said Is Pusakata.
