Alternativeindie

Alternative/Indie music emerged in the 1980s, primarily as a rebellious response to mainstream pop; it’s like the teenager of music genres, constantly insisting it's misunderstood. Characterised by a diverse range of sounds, from jangly guitars to introspective lyrics, it often requires a certain level of emotional investment—think of it as music that intends to take you on an existential crisis without the need for a therapist. This genre has launched countless of the band T-shirts littered across festivals, proving that being 'indie' is as much about the aesthetic as it is about the sound.
