Indie - Representation

The indie genre is all about being yourself and an individual. The songs produced by the bands show this. For example Oasis was a band that would rebel against the norm to prove a point or to say what they thought. A couple of their songs are about drugs, drink and sex, this is not unusual for indie rock or pop.

The indie movement target teens to early 30's with their unique style of singing and lyrics. Artists such a Jamie T and Lily Allen have become huge just by singing about everyday occurrences and not singing big power ballads like Mariah Carey. Indie-Pop is a British born genre which has now begun branch out into other genres like rap, rock and R&B.
