In the 1990s, as alternative rock went mainstream and radio grew increasingly homogeneous, WOXY gained international renown as one of Rolling Stone's "Last Great Independent Radio" stations. The station projected a philosophy that prioritized such independence-the idea that truly progressive, transgressive, futuristic disruptions of the status quo were possible only when practiced with and for other people. In “The Future of Rock and Roll”, philosopher Robin James uses WOXY's story to argue against a corporate vision of independence-in which everyone fends for themselves-and in favor of an alternative way of thinking and relating to one another that disrupts norms but is nevertheless supported by communities. Against the standard retelling of the history of "modern rock," James looks to the local scenes that made true independence possible by freeing individual artists from the whims of the boardroom. This philosophy of community-rooted independence offers both a counternarrative to the orthodox history of indie rock and an alternative worldview to that of the current corporate mainstream.
