indie rock

Characterized by its DIY ethos and artistic independence from major labels, indie rock emerged in the 1980s as an alternative to mainstream rock. The genre features jangly guitars, unconventional song structures, and introspective lyrics, prioritizing creative freedom over commercial appeal while maintaining rock's fundamental energy.
