Intro

Indietronica

The electronic variant of Indie Rock/Pop, it is a short tern for Indie Electronic Music. Typical instruments include electronic keyboard, synthesizer, sampler and drum machine, as well as bass guitar and electric guitar. During the early 2000s, the number of indie electronic artists grew exponentially as home recording and software synthesizers (or softsynths) became common.

Relationships
Parents	Pop	Popular music, for lack of a better term. Consists almost entirely of short-to-medium length songs, with heavy use of verse-chorus structures and a strong emphasis on melodicism and catchiness. Has no singular sound - often incorporates the popular sounds of the day (thus pop was synonymous with rock through the 60s, picked up elements of EDM in the late 2000s/early 2010s, and often features trap beats in the late 2010s). UMG's bread and butter.
