Intro

IndieRock

Indie is short for 'independent,' leading one to assume that Indie Rock is concurrent with the Punk DIY aesthetic. Since Indie Rock is free of the mainstream, it allows bands to experiment and incorporate aspects of underground culture. Since the late 1990s, Indie Rock has grown in popularity with bands signing to corporate record labels and music publishers, thus Indie Rock has become more of a prescription for song composition than a protest against commercialism.
