It makes me feel better when I'm feeling down. It gives me power during my workout. It reminds me of many special moments I've experienced. It just makes me want to dance all night! That's indie rock.
The genre was initially originated in the United Kindom and the United States in the 1980s. There are so many types of indie rock, which in my opinion makes the genre quite interesting, but the stylistic origins are more like punk rock, New Wave, post-punk and alternative rock. Indie rock has gained a huge commercial succes especially in the 2000s and the number of all the indie rock bands is continuously growing. That's pretty awesome actually because there are so many different kinds of options to choose. Indie rock usually includes small and relatively low-budget labels and the bands often have so called "do-it-yourself" attitude. Of course when it comes to bigger names distribution deals are often struck with major corporate companies.
Typical intruments for this genre are guitar,bass,drums,keyboard and vocals but the influences and styles of the artists can be extremely diverse, including punk, psychedelia, rock and country. I think that nothing's better than a brisk drum comping combined with a loud quitar solo while some guy is singing with a cute British accent shaking his head up and down and waving his laid-back curly hair. So I think the best indie rock bands come definitely from the UK and I also prefer the male vocalists who can make a very good impression with their individual voices. I don't know what is it but I just love the way how the British speak! If I had to name a few bands that are my absolute favorites I would say The Kooks, The Artic Monkeys,The Maccabees,Coldplay and The Ting Tings.
My music taste is anything but confined but indie rock beats all the other genres when it comes to the lyrics and the melody. I like to listen to the words so that I'll get the right atmosphere of the song. Music helps me concentrate so that's why I like to listen to it while I'm doing my homework. When I can't sleep I tend to listen to peaceful songs from The Maccabees and when I'm feeling energetic and wild I jam with The Artic Monkeys. Sometimes when I miss someone, music is the only thing that helps me to get through it. But at the same time it reminds me of the great times I've spent with people I love and takes me back to the most important moments of my life. Indie rock is the right genre for me because it's miscellaneous,surprising,outgoing and energetic - just like me.
