"unenrolled" and "independent" mean the exact same thing: you are registered to vote, without a party designation.

The reason Massachusetts had to adopt the term "unenrolled" is that a decade or two ago, someone actually created a party called the "Independent High-Tech Party" and collected enough signatures to get that party's nominees on the state ballot.
