Indie rock is a genre of alternative rock that originated in the
United Kingdom in the 1980s. Indie rock is an extremely diverse genre, with
sub-genres that include those of indie pop, jangle pop, C86, and lo-fi, among
others.
The name of Indie/Rock, takes its name
from the word Independent, meaning not influenced or controlled by others in
matter of opinion. The bands which are labelled Indie/Rock will usually show
their own uniqueness by having their own different styles and portraying a
certain look in order for them to be and look different from the norm, this
comes in terms of fashion, fan base and their characteristics in the way they
portray themselves.
Seeing as each indie band aims at its
own different fan bases this gives a wide range as to who the audience could
be, seeing as the audience are not only attracted to the style of music, but
the how a band portrays themselves to the public or even down to what they
wear, examples of different fan bases within indie rock are those of
Oasis, Red Hot Chilli Peppers etc.
