Overview Of Indie Genre

The indie genre has different types under the name e.g. indie rock, indie pop and indie dance, this means that there is no one specific indie genre so no band can be just an indie band they will have to be under one of the indie genre’s.

Indie Rock is a broad international Meta genre, with strong continuity in preferred sounds and rhythms, influences, and performance stances. Indie Rock is a guitar-dominated genre, associated with groups rather than solo performers.

Indie rock is a sub-genre of alternative rock that originated in the United Kingdom and the United States in the 1980s. Indie rock is extremely diverse, with sub-genres that include lo-fi, post rock, math rock, indie pop, dream pop, noise rock, space rock, sadcore, riot grrrl and emo, are just some of the genre’s under the indie rock genre.

Indie pop is a genre of alternative rock music that originated in the United Kingdom in the mid 1980s, with its roots in the Scottish post-punk bands on the Postcard Records label in the early '80s, such as Orange Juice, Josef K, Aztec Camera, and the dominant UK independent band of the mid eighties The Smiths. Unlike Indie rock, Indie pop is more melodic, less noisy, and relatively angst-free.

Alternative dance or indie dance is a musical genre that mixes rock subgenres with electronic dance music. Although largely confined to the British Isles, it has gained American and worldwide exposure through acts such as New Order in the 1980s and The Prodigy in the 1990s.

The attire of a indie band depends on the type of indie genre they decide to do, for an indie rock band the attire might be skin tight jeans, chequered shirt and hoody jumper, but it also could be jeans, shirt and suit jacket so it depends on the band members, the attire of an indie pop band might be jeans, shirt (chequered or not) and a jacket, but also it could be skin tight jeans, shirt and suit jacket, the attire for an indie dance band could be jeans, shirt and jacket, so basically there is little to no difference in attire between different indie genres and bands.
