But after she expressed the difficulties of making an independent film in the age of <keyword id="11899360" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="streaming" source="Orion">streaming</keyword> and superhero <keyword id="11898343" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="movies" source="Orion">movies</keyword>, the tweet blew up with nearly 20,000 likes and over 1,500 retweets."Producing a 2mil movie and since arriving on location for prep, every actor attached has dropped out due to Marvel, Netflix or TV opportunities which is holding up our cash flow," she <a href="https://twitter.com/rebfive/status/1502275453368868867">tweeted</a> on March 11. "In case you were wondering what it's like to make an indie in 2022."After her viral tweet, Insider spoke to Green about <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-indie-theaters-survived-the-pandemic-and-what-comes-next-2022-3">the state of indie film and arthouse cinemas</a>. She said indie movies are "dying a slow death.""The struggle for indie distribution was a struggle before the pandemic, but that exacerbated it," Green said. She noted that Netflix makes so much content a year in-house that it's difficult to land notable actors for indie films because of their busy schedules. But it's hard to get a small film financed today without notable actors, she said. The pandemic only accelerated the flourishing streaming space, as <keyword id="11894119" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="media" source="Orion">media</keyword> companies focused on building their own platforms to compete. Now, with so many TV and film opportunities across so many different options, it's next to impossible to secure known actors for an indie film shoot, Green said. Not to mention that consumers' attention is elsewhere.Superhero movies, particularly Marvel, also tie up actors' schedules. Green lamented that "somebody in a Marvel movie could be making them for years." Those are also the kinds of movies that do the best business in movie theaters, especially during the pandemic when once reliable demographics — older audiences and families — have been slow to return.This also means indie theaters in the US <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/top-movies-that-helped-indie-theaters-dune-west-side-story-2022-3">have had to evolve their programming strategies</a>, as indie movies are fewer and farther between now. Arthouse cinema operators that Insider recently spoke to said that they are programming big-budget movies with broader appeal to stay afloat."That part of the business hasn't returned to normal yet," said Ian Judge, the creative director at the Somerville Theater in Somerville, Massachusetts, referring to indie movies.Green said that it's now necessary for indie cinemas to play more more commercial films."The Landmark theater where I live in Detroit, that I would see indie movies at, closed last year," Green said. "We have to acknowledge that theaters need to make money to stay open."She said she navigates the hurdles with indie moviemaking on a "movie-by-movie, actor-by-actor basis.""We need financiers to play ball, but some have their expectations too high," she said. "The best financiers are the ones that will be adaptive [in their budgets] to allow the movie to get made, but some don't have that flexibility."She also said one of the biggest difficulties on the indie-distribution side is that distributors aren't utilizing social media, such as TikTok, well enough to promote their movies and reach audiences."I believe people want to see these movies," she said. "They just don't know about them." <h2><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-indie-theaters-survived-the-pandemic-and-what-comes-next-2022-3">Read Insider's full story on the state of indie movie theaters and what the future looks like.</a></h2>

<ul class="summary-list"><li><keyword id="11974765" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="gen-z" source="Orion">Gen Z</keyword> brought back the maximalist <keyword id="13032544" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="indie-sleaze" source="Orion">indie sleaze</keyword> aesthetic of the mid-aughts.</li><li>Think American Apparel and flash photography: it's hipstery, a little grungy, and clubby.</li></ul>Another mid-aughts aesthetic has made a comeback thanks to Gen Z: indie sleaze.Millennials may know it as "hipster."Reminiscent of an American Apparel model headed to a dance club during the Tumblr era, the hedonistic style first appeared on TikTok last fall when Gen Z trend analyst Mandy Lee, known as <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@oldloserinbrooklyn">old loser in Brooklyn</a> on the social app, declared it was resurging.Several outlets have since reported on the rise of the aesthetic. <a href="https://www.dazeddigital.com/fashion/article/54603/1/wtf-is-indie-sleaze-comeback-tiktok-trend-y2k-chanel-saint-laurent-cobrasnake">Dazed Digital's Daniel Rodgers</a> described it as "grubby, maximalist, and performatively vintage," while <a href="https://www.nylon.com/fashion/indie-sleaze-2000s-fashion-comeback">Nylon's India Roby</a> likened it to a mashup between a Brooklyn hipster, the '80s electronica club scene, and grunge. Think Polaroid photos and party vibes, mohair cardigans and band t-shirts, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/12/style/smoking-cigarettes-comeback.html">cigarettes</a> and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/gen-z-fashion-trends-reviving-wired-headphones-airpods-finance-bro-2021-11">wired headphones</a>, Mary-Kate Olsen and Pete Doherty.As is the case with most of the '90s and early 2000s trends Gen Z has recently revived, the aesthetic is a retaliation to the conspicuous wealth that emerged in the 2010s <keyword id="11893570" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="economy" source="Orion">economy</keyword>. Indie sleaze is an uncurated, hot mess — the opposite of the clean, minimal vibe of millennial productivity and influencing. This post-coronavirus recession rise of the hipster echoes the emergence of the Great Recession hipster in 2008, both fueled by a nostalgic search for an easier era.Indie sleaze also represents a thirst for fun after economic distress. <a href="https://www.vogue.co.uk/fashion/article/indie-sleaze-trend-comeback">Lee explained to Vogue</a> that people are craving community and creativity after lockdown. "I feel like with the indie sleaze subculture, 15 years ago, community, art, and music were so powerful," she said, "that's what brought people together."<h2>The post-recession hipster is back</h2>Gen Z's love for indie sleaze isn't just about reckless, post-lockdown euphoria. It's a search for a simpler era, one uninhibited by <keyword id="11895013" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="social-media" source="Orion">social media</keyword> and adult expenses.As Isabel Slone wrote <a href="https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/features/a38746992/the-return-of-indie-sleaze/">for Harper's Bazaar</a>, "Indie sleaze serves as a somewhat painful reminder of the last gasp in time when it was possible to envision a future unscathed by the ravages of late capitalism."The youth often becomes nostalgic during economic hardship, seeking comfort and connection. Such was the case for Gen Z, who is adjusting to the realities of adult life in the middle of a global health crisis. They were <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/millennials-gen-z-laid-off-furloughed-coronavirus-job-market-2020-4">the hardest-hit generation in the labor force</a> . Even a year into the pandemic, recent college grads were having the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/gen-z-graduates-hardest-time-job-hunting-recession-2021-7">toughest time finding jobs</a>. Plus, many were forced to attend school remotely and socialize almost exclusively through their phones. As a coping mechanism, they reminisced about the '90s and early 2000s, when social media didn't yet exist, Michael Pankowski, the founder of the Gen Z marketing consulting firm <a href="https://www.crimsonconnection.net/">Crimson Connection</a>, previously <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/gen-z-nostalgia-y2k-indie-sleaze-old-money-economic-response-2022-1">told Insider</a>. To them, that unplugged lifestyle is a novelty."While we love the internet, the pandemic's grave effect on in-person interaction has made the digital world basically all we have," he said. "So we feel nostalgic for a time before the internet had become so omnipresent."It's similar to the hipster take-off around the time of the 2008 financial crisis. While hipsterdom existed as far back as <a href="https://www.neh.gov/humanities/2014/julyaugust/feature/how-did-cool-become-such-big-deal-0">the late 1940s</a> in various iterations, the subculture was commodified during the Great Recession as college students began to lean toward "indie rock or '80s <keyword id="12019777" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="nostalgia" source="Orion">nostalgia</keyword>," <a href="https://www.racked.com/2015/3/3/8134987/american-apparel-urban-outfitters-hipster-brands">as Racked put it</a> — elder millennials' way of seeking simpler times as the economy crumbled. Brands like American Apparel and Urban Outfitters <a href="https://www.racked.com/2015/3/3/8134987/american-apparel-urban-outfitters-hipster-brands">capitalized on the trend</a>, bringing it mainstream.It seems that when a recession hits, hipsters unite. This time, Gen Z is leading the way.

Gen Z brought post-recession hipster fashion back — rebranded as 'indie sleaze'

Despite low crude oil prices, some of the airlines in India are still bearing rough weather. As per a report by aviation consultancy Capa India, Indian airlines have lost more than $10 billion since 2009 while their debt stands at around $11.3 billion. 
 
But, IndiGo, which has 40% share of the Indian aviation market, remains unaffected and is managing its business with aplomb. 
 
Here are few reasons for how the budget airline is prospering in tough times. 
 1. <keyword id="2399048" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="IndiGo-IPO">IndiGO IPO</keyword>: When IndiGo’s operator <keyword id="300127" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Interglobe-Enterprises">InterGlobe Enterprises</keyword> announced their plans for an IPO and set prices between Rs 700 and Rs 765 a share, many though the prices were too high. But, IndiGO IPO subscribed more than six times and made a stunning debut on the market, gaining early 18% on listing. IndiGo is now valued at around $6 billion. 
 
2. Keeping it simple: Despite complex aviation regulations, creaking airports, rising airport fees, exorbitant taxes, etc, IndiGo has stuck to one formula-keep it simple. "We focus only on getting customers from point A to B safely along with their bags and serve food that will not make them sick," IndiGo president Aditya Ghosh had said. IndiGo flies only the Airbus320s, which helps keep operations simple and costs low. 
 
3. Negotiations: Through repeated orders of Airbus 320, (100 planes in 2005, 180 in 2011 and 250 planes in October) have given IndiGo an edge to bargain hard. IndiGo then sells and leases back the planes, cushioning its balance sheet from the uncertainties of aviation and helping it retain a young fleet.

3 reasons why IndiGo is soaring high in troubled times too

The third match of the T20I series between <keyword id="3658" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="india" source="Orion">India</keyword> and the <keyword id="41288" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="west-indies" source="Orion">West Indies</keyword> at Warner Park later on Tuesday will also have a delayed start in order to give adequate rest and recovery time to players for the back-to-back matches, according to <keyword id="3420719" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="cricket-west-indies" source="Orion">Cricket West Indies</keyword> (<keyword id="271773" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="cwi" source="Orion">CWI</keyword>). The third T20I of the engrossing five-match series at <keyword id="1285712" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="st-kitts" source="Orion">St Kitts</keyword> will start at 9:30pm India time on Tuesday after the second match of the series on Monday began a 11 p.m. IST (earlier scheduled at 8 p.m. IST) due to team luggage arriving into St. Kitts from Trinidad late. On Tuesday, CWI issued a statement saying, "A revised start time of 12pm local time (9:30pm India) for the third match between West Indies and India in the T20I Cup to be played at Warner Park in St Kitts on Tuesday 2nd August. "Following the delayed start on Monday, the teams have agreed to start the third T20 Cup match at a later time to ensure that the players receive adequate rest and recover time for the back-to-back matches in St. Kitts and in consideration of the back-to-back matches to come in Florida," the statement added. The five-match series is level 1-1 after West Indies bounced back to win the second T20I by five wickets. Left-arm pacer Obed McCoy delivered the best-ever bowling figures by a West Indies bowler in T20I matches with his six wickets for just 17 runs. India won the first contest by 68 runs last Friday at the <keyword id="13053629" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="brian-lara-cricket-academy" source="Orion">Brian Lara Cricket Academy</keyword> in Trinidad. Earlier on Monday, CWI had cited significant delays in crucial team luggage arriving into St Kitts from Trinidad as reason behind the match timing being postponed. "Due to circumstances beyond CWI's control, there have been significant delays in crucial team luggage arriving into St Kitts from Trinidad." "As a result, today's (Monday's) 2nd T20 Cup match is due to start at 10 p.m. India. CWI regrets any inconvenience caused to our valued fans, sponsors, broadcast partners and all other stakeholders," CWI had said. The match had got delayed by another hour after the announcement.

"We welcome Oshane and Shimron back into the group. Both have played at the international level before, with some success, and we believe they will fit well into the set-up.

Brown would like to see races in Mexico and maybe even South America."I'm not a fan of leaving the Americas," Brown told Insider before the Indianapolis 500. "I think Mexico would be a great location. We're already in Canada, but I think it's pretty hard to be a domestic series that occasionally goes global. I think you either gotta be global or domestic. Otherwise, you don't get enough exposure to kind of, you know, dip into Europe once a year or Australia like we used to go to."So personally, I'd like to see it stay in the Americas, you know, Brazil, Mexico, North America as we have it. But I think going beyond that isn't something I would be in favor of."Another possibility is Argentina.<a href="https://racer.com/2022/05/31/argentina-eyeing-indycar-race/">According to Marshall Pruett of Racer</a>, a group representing the Autódromo Termas de Río Hondo road course in the province of Santiago, recently met with IndyCar officials in hopes of bringing the series to Argentina. That circuit already hosts a MotoGP event, and the country last hosted an IndyCar event in 1971.<h2>IndyCar is riding the motorsports surge in the US</h2>TV ratings for IndyCar races this year have been the highest in 19 years, even before their marquee event, the Indianapolis 500, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucemartin/2022/04/15/indycars-tv-viewership-highest-in-19-years-could-spark-increase-in-indianapolis-500-tv-rating/?sh=464349d32599">according to Forbes</a>. Some have credited F1's growing popularity in the US for bringing more attention and interest to motorsports.F1 has taken advantage of the surge by expanding its presence in the US with two races this year, in Miami and Austin, and adding a third in 2023 in Las Vegas. The growth of F1 in the US will mean more money for the sport. Claire Atkinson of Insider reported that several broadcasters, including current rightsholder ESPN, along with Netflix and Amazon, which are all in <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/netflix-disney-espn-nbcuniversal-formula-1-rights-sports-live-streaming-2022-6">a bidding war for the next F1 TV deal in the US</a>. Mark Miles, the president and CEO of Penske Entertainment Corporation, which owns the NTT IndyCar Series, has also mentioned a return to Mexico. IndyCar last raced in Mexico City in 2007 and would mark a more manageable trip than going to South America."We've long seen Mexico as a market where we could imagine racing," <a href="https://us.motorsport.com/indycar/news/mark-miles-could-imagine-indycar-racing-in-mexico-again/8495523/">Miles said, according to Motorsport</a>. "We've got to find the right place under the right circumstances, but we are interested in racing in Mexico if we can put all the pieces together."One of Brown's Arrow McLaren drivers is <keyword id="14130772" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="pato-oward" source="Orion">Pato O'Ward</keyword> of Mexico, one of the top drivers in the series.

Indian airlines IndiGo has been at the receiving end of these cancellations. IndiGo currently runs two daily flights to China, which are on the receiving end of cancellations, reported PTI. The Coronavirus broke out in Wuhan, which is a big business centre in China. The shares of IndiGo fell by over 3% to trade at ₹1448.3 on Tuesday. This is in spite of the fact that the company reported good earnings for the third quarter, a day before. The airlines parent company InterGlobe Aviation saw a twofold jump in profits to ₹496 crore. In the same quarter the previous year, the company’ profits stood at ₹185.2 crore. "We started operations in 7 new international routes and 17 new domestic routes and operated a peak of 1,634 daily departures during the quarter. I am very enthusiastic about the way we have been developing our network, connecting cities large and small to provide more choice to our customers," IndiGo CEO Ronojoy Dutta said. However, IndiGo is not the only one to be facing issues as airlines across the world are offering free cancellations to trips to China.
