Evolution of the Indie Scene after the 90s The independent rock music scene has branched out since the demise of the grunge rock bands and a wide variety of sub genres have merged from the after math. Shoe gazing and Brit pop were the earliest sub genres finding greatness with bands like the Cure and Galaxie 500. Britpop bands like Blur and Oasis also found wide recognition in this post grunge era, often referred to as Cool Britannia. The scene became more sporadic and branched out after 2000, with various bands indulging in specific genres like lo fi, and noise rock. Garage rock became an important element in the evolution of the genre with prominent bands like the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and The White Stripes taking their spot in the lime light. The White Stripes have since become one of the premier bands in the world. With their albums taking top spot at almost all charts in the world, they have been instrumental in taking the garage rock scene out of the garage, and giving it a spot on the world map of rock music. The evolution of the sound of the independent rock scene has scene elements of jazz and blues taking their pre determined place once again in the books of rock, and atmospheric sounds of bands like Arcade Fire has won them recognition the world over. The best feature of the indie rock scene today is the wide acceptance to any and every sort of music. Freak music or new American music is also as accepted under ground as the heavy sound of the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. The indie rock music scene is instrumental in uncovering the new talents and sounds in rock music. |
