It was easier for an alternative band or performer to sign with an "indie" label than one of the major labels. The independent labels were more willing to take a chance on something different or new.
Some bands used their indie success to get major labels interested (like Nirvana), while others stayed true to the small labels that supported them early on. A few performers (like Juliana Hatfield) had concurrent deals with both an indie and a major.

Are there any bands that still use analog or reel to reel recording?
Yes. There are bands that record with tape because that's all they have access to. Also, there are plenty of people in the music industry that still prefer the sound of analog tape. Especially when it comes to metal music. The low end is a lot richer on analog tape. With metal records this makes the kick boom, and many bands prefer it. Most people are recording digitally, but there are still a few that use tape.
