Indie music?

So you have the pop genre, and you get a mixes of these genres, like 'pop punk' like the band Bowling for Soup (Girl all the Bad Guys Want) and Fall Out Boy (Carpel Tunnel of Love), 'pop dance' like Selena Gomez newer songs, 'pop country' like The Band Perry (If I Die Young), and just about every Taylor Swift song.

But an overlooked genre of wonderful pop music is the 'indie' side. Great songs like 'Queen of White Lies' and 'Wasted Daylight' are ignored because of mass focus on other pop genres.

There are indie-pop bands that get their fair share of attention, though. Did you know a lot of the new Panic at the Disco is considered indie-alternative? Also, the song 'Pumped up Kicks' is pure indie-pop. The band Foster the People has greatly improved the ratings for indie music.

Whatever you're into is your own thing, but don't be afraid to taste other genres too! If your volume's not on, turn it up and take a listen to some of the songs on my page. Most is indie.
