Indie / Alternative

Indie and alternative music started out in the 1980’s, closely linked with alternative rock music. In the 1990’s indie/alternative music was developed greatly and had many sub genres created like britpop. This was when indie music thrived and became mainstream with major artists like Oasis and Blur, with this genre of music still being successful today.
