London Indie

London Indie is a genre of music that originated in the late 1980s and early 1990s in London, England. It is characterized by its use of jangly guitars, melodic bass lines, and often a combination of both male and female vocals. The genre is heavily influenced by post-punk, new wave, and alternative rock, and often incorporates elements of shoegaze, dream pop, and indie pop. London Indie bands often have a DIY aesthetic, and the lyrics often focus on themes of love, relationships, and social issues. Notable London Indie bands include The Smiths, The Cure, The Stone Roses, and Blur.
