Kiwi Rock is a genre of music that originated in New Zealand in the late 1990s. It is a blend of alternative rock, punk, and indie rock, with a strong emphasis on melody and catchy hooks. The genre is characterized by its upbeat, energetic sound, often featuring distorted guitars, driving rhythms, and anthemic choruses. It is often associated with the "Kiwi music scene" of the late 1990s and early 2000s, which was heavily influenced by the British and American indie rock scenes. Popular Kiwi Rock bands include The Datsuns, The Mint Chicks, and The Checks.
