Indie rock is a genre of alternative rock music that originated in the United States and the United Kingdom in the 1980s. It is characterized by a DIY (do-it-yourself) aesthetic, often featuring lo-fi recording techniques, and a focus on independent record labels and self-released music. Indie rock often incorporates elements of punk, folk, and other genres, and is often seen as a reaction against the mainstream music industry. Indie rock bands often have a strong emphasis on melody and songwriting, and often feature unconventional instrumentation and production techniques.
