Dunedin Indie

Dunedin Indie is a genre of music that originated in the city of Dunedin, New Zealand in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It is characterized by a lo-fi, DIY aesthetic, often featuring jangly guitars, melodic bass lines, and a strong emphasis on melody. The genre is heavily influenced by punk and post-punk, as well as the jangle pop of the 1980s. It is often associated with the Flying Nun Records label, which released many of the genre's most influential albums. Dunedin Indie is known for its quirky, offbeat lyrics and its often melancholic sound.
