Indie Rock

Indie rock is a dynamic and eclectic genre that emerged in the late 20th century, characterized by its DIY ethos and a departure from the mainstream music industry's commercial constraints. It blends elements from punk, post-punk, and alternative rock, often showcasing raw, authentic soundscapes and introspective lyrics. Notable for its diversity, indie rock encompasses everything from jangly guitars to experimental sound, with bands like The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, and R.E.M. paving the way for its enduring influence.
