Indie pop (also typeset as indie-pop or indiepop) is a music genre and subculture[1] that combines guitar pop with DIY ethic[3] in opposition to the style and tone of mainstream pop music.[9] It originated from British post-punk[4] in the late 1970s and subsequently generated a thriving fanzine, label, and club and gig circuit. Compared to its counterpart, indie rock,[8] the genre is more melodic, less abrasive, and relatively angst-free.[8] In later years, the definition of indie pop has bifurcated to also mean bands from unrelated DIY scenes/movements with pop leanings.[4] Subgenres include chamber pop and twee pop.[8]Contents1 Development and characteristics1.1 Origins and etymology 1.2 Disputed significance of C862 Compilations 3 Related genres3.1 Twee pop 3.2 Shibuya-kei 3.3 Chamber pop4 References 5 Further reading 6 External linksDevelopment and characteristics[edit]This section has multiple issues
