New Era Indie by SoundCloud Stories

Indie transcends genre designation. It’s an attitude and an ethos; an expression of alternative living through making music that defies mainstream culture. From British punk and post-punk in the 1970s and ‘80s, to the grunge and college radio explosion of the ‘90s, indie has rapidly evolved from city-specific scenes — like Seattle and Manchester — to a global phenomenon, morphing into emo, indietronica and more. Today, indie is a blueprint for creativity, giving artists the freedom to push boundaries. Dive into this collection of new era indie, featuring tracks from MJ Lenderman, Freak Slug, Rachel Chinouriri and more.
