Indie rock doesn't really exist any more. It was a term used for "underground" bands that were either on indie labels or couldn't be heard on the radio. The sound was more lo-fi and garagey in the 90's and early 2000's. A lot has changed since then and it's hard to classify any music as "indie rock" these days.

Alternative rock, originally, was simply guitar-bass-drum based music that did not fall in line with the "rock" music being played on the radio. You can go all the way back to the 60's with some of the psychedelic rock that was around that did not make it onto the radio. Then, of course, it comes forward into 70s punk and 80s "new wave" music, and so on.
Indie rock was literally independent music, in the same vein musically as alternative rock, without major label support. Bands that made records through hometown labels and such.
Presently, alternative rock is still new rock that is not considered "hard rock." While indie rock is essentially the same but typically much more experimental and not as radio-friendly (translate: hipster).

A lot of people are basically saying that it's indie if it isn't popular but Alternative if it is, I kind of disagree. Modest Mouse, MGMT, Arcade Fire, Mac Demarco ect. are all pretty popular but are still considered indie.
A lot of bands that are considered "Alternative" aren't very popular.
