History of Indie

MetalLifter · 05-14-2016, 07:00 AM

Hi guys,

I'm writing a chapter on indie music as a part of a book on indie culture and wanted a really knowledgeable community to ask some questions so I get my facts straight about the bands.

My general chronological outline is:
1960's -- Garage Rock (indie roots)
1970's -- Punk Roots
1980's -- Punk
1990's -- A variety of genres, including grunge, etc.
2000's -- Modern indie and YouTube artists (not sure if that applies)

I would love any information as to how indie music (music made with the DIY attitude and in independent labels) evolved and changed over time.

Many thanks in advance!
