Description of us indie music
US indie music is a diverse genre that includes a wide range of artists and styles that are not part of the mainstream music industry. Indie music is often associated with alternative rock and pop, but it can also include folk, country, electronic, experimental, and other styles.
In general, indie music is characterized by a DIY (do-it-yourself) ethic, with artists producing and distributing their own music outside of the major record labels. It is also often associated with a more underground or independent aesthetic, with an emphasis on creativity and originality over commercial success.
Some of the most influential US indie bands and artists include R.E.M., Sonic Youth, Pixies, Pavement, Wilco, Arcade Fire, Vampire Weekend, Bon Iver, St. Vincent, and many others. The indie scene has also spawned a number of independent record labels, such as Sub Pop, Merge Records, and Matador, which have helped to support and promote independent artists over the years.
