I mean, the white stripes really aren't indie, they're blues rock and garage rock, but are still considered indie. So why couldn't wilco be considered indie as well?

I don't really see indie as anything other than an extra label to throw on a band.
I consider them indie. They don't pry themselves on fame, they make music for their fans and anyone who wants to get into them. They could've easily sold out by now but they really don't need too.
