The 90s saw grunge, punk-revival, and Britpop bands go mainstream, but many of these bands were able to maintain their ‘indie’ status. For example, Sub Pop Records enjoyed mainstream success in the early 1990s with the rise of the grunge genre, which they were instrumental in promoting. But in 1995 they sold to Warner Music Group. Lo-fi, emo, noise pop, slowcore, math-rock, and post-rock are all considered indie genres. The 2000s saw the impact of the internet on music consumption and distribution, and new waves of indie bands began to achieve success, some of them signing to major labels, others continued with independent labels.

It makes sense that we’re seeing a return to DIY culture post-pandemic. People want something that’s going to wake them up, shake things up, and make them feel alive and present. The music was so fun, lively, experimental, fluid, and collaborative. It was a very community-driven time in the music scene, and I think that’s something people are craving after years of lockdown.
That description, indie as an economic model of producing your own music, or producing music with an independent label, is one way to look at it. But Indie music is also sometimes used as a genre description, a way to describe a certain sound. And it’s true, some artists and bands are considered ‘indie’ and do record and produce their music within a commercial record label. Similarly, many DIY ‘indie’ bands produce music outside of the record industry but who fall into various other genres, and would not easily identify themselves with the term ‘indie’. This has led many to question whether the use of ‘indie’ as a term to describe a style of music has any real meaning. See additional information at Dylan Pulver.
