 Indie rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the United States, the music commonly regarded as indie rock is descended from an alternative rock scene largely influenced by the punk rock and hardcore punk movements of the 1970s and early 1980s and their DIY ethos.
Initially, the charts featured bands that emerged from punk, post-punk, and other forms of music; these bands were distinguished solely by having their records released by small labels, independently of the major record companies.
