Indie Music: Solid Music Genre That Has Been Tested Over Time

By Paul Edwards


It's amazing to think that another Decade has finished. Each Decade that passes leaves defining characteristics, whether in the News, or with the technological advances, or in the Genre of music that has been played. Well the music world of the last Decade has really been dominated by one Genre, and that Genre is the indie movement.

When you consider that New wave only lasted for the eighties, or Alternative rock only really lasted for the Nineties, it is unique to find that the indie movement is still going strong.

The indie bands are still as popular today as when they first started out.

So what is meant by indie music? Basically any band that did not get signed to a corporate label but released a chart record was classed as indie, although this does not apply now, as quite a few bands have since signed for the big name labels but still like to be known as indie bands.

Maybe it is just a case of being more creative with their style of music, and not bowing down to the sort of music that was played all the time in the top 40.

This type of creativity allows the Artists to expand on the different sounds, and because of this variety the indie movement may be around for quite a bit longer than anticipated.

All this creativity can only be good for music fans, and it should be interesting to see how indie music evolves from here.

Music tends to dominate a certain decade, but it looks like indie music is going to break the mould on this. Let's see how long the indie culture is around for.
