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.

Of course nowadays indie is mainstream. Go figure! Bands like Blur and Oasis have this style of music !!!!

How has heavy metal has changed since the 80s?
With the expansion of musical "freedom", what with independent labels and the existence of more record labels, metal has grown into something diverse within itself. Bands like Fear Factory and Metallica can both be considered metal, even though they are worlds apart. Basically, it has diversified and become a lot heavier in general.
How has technology influenced alternative rock music?
Technology has affected alternative rock music like it has any other genre: it allows artists to create, edit and produce music from their own computer. Because technology is so easily accessible, it also made it easier for bands to produce music on their own instead of relying on mainstream labels - creating an increase in independent (or "indie") bands. The increase in small and indie bands has created a wider variety of subgenres underneath alternative rock and a multitude of different sounds and styles. Logically, technology has increased the specific sounds and effects present in songs. Mixing different songs, overlapping recordings, and other general actions involved in the music-making process are easier to access for artists and studios. Thanks to technology, a lot of songs that would be considered old, such as the Pixies, have been remastered and the sound quality increased.
