The History of Indie Music
The History of Indie (Independent) Music
1980's - Indie rock is a genre of alternative rock that originated in the United Kingdom in the 1980s. The genre itself is very diverse, with and includes sub-genres: indie rock, indie pop, jangle pop, and lo-fi, among others. Originally used to describe record labels, the term became associated with the music they produced and was initially used interchangeably with alternative rock.
1990's - Grunge bands broke into the mainstream, and the term "alternative" lost its original counter-cultural meaning. The term "indie rock" became associated with the bands and genres that remained dedicated to their independent status.
2000's - In the early 2000s, a new group of bands that played a stripped-down and back-to-basics version of guitar rock emerged into the mainstream. The commercial breakthrough from these scenes was led by four bands: The Strokes, The White Stripes, The Hives and The Vines.
