Here is some background information about Indie music:
Indie music is a mix of pop, jazz, rock, blues and poetry. The word indie is short for independent. Indie music was created in the 1950-60’s, but was very underground. This meant that indie bands played in little venues and in garages. Indie music took time to become popular. Around the 1980’s, indie music started to grow and become quite popular. Seen as the word indie means independent, indie artists would create music the way they wanted to and for this reason they were not signed to big producers and did not make a lot of money. Before indie music became popular, indie artists would prefer to make their own music/sound than be paid, however over the years this music genre has become popular and indie bands are well known, some more than others, however some indie bands include The Arctic Monkeys, Two Door Cinema Club, The Kooks, Mumford and Sons, Jake Bugg and Death Cab for Cutie and many more.
