Can the song really be called "indy" or "alt" if it topped the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart?

No, but I like it. It was this or Katy Perry, so I went with this. /s

I love it as well, just thought alt or indie was too much a stretch for this one.

Now it's pretty man stream but at the time they made this video sum 41 were total unknowns. All the people in the video were fans that answered a email from their manager to a fan list and were pretty much just told when and where to show up. The acting was all ad libed. It is one of the most indie music videos that I know of.
