Produktbeschreibung

Indie pop is a genre of alternative rock music that originated in the United Kingdom in the mid 1980s, with its roots in the Scottish post-punk bands on the Postcard Records label in the early 80s such as Orange Juice and Josef K and the dominant UK independent band of the mid eighties, The Smiths.While the term indie had been used for some time to describe artists on independent labels the key moment in the naming of the genre was the release of NME's C86 tape in 1986. Although featuring a wide range of bands including Primal Scream, Bogshed, Half Man Half Biscuit, and The Wedding Present, it over time became shorthand for a genre known by a variety of terms. Initially it was dubbed C86, the more ambiguous indie pop, Cutie or a term coined by John Peel: shambling bands. Retrospectively, especially in the United States, the terms twee and twee pop were used, initially ironically, due to what commentators called the revolt into childhood of its followers. Musically its key characteristics were jangling guitars, a love of sixties pop and often fey, innocent lyrics
