There's a lot of focus on mainstream music on these boards. What about indie music? Doesn't matter the genre. Rock, rap, folk, disco, electronic, experimental...what are some of your favorite indie songs from the 2010s?

I like indie music since the indies seem to make better music than the mainstream musicians. Terrible rap or electronic tracks. Indie seems to be more diverse and sometimes go for a more unique sound.

Although I'm probably just bias since my favorite genre (Electro Swing, New jack Swing, Funky House, Euro House, and Jazz Fusion) are dead in the mainstream side of music. So I don't pay much attention to mainstream music as much as others do. For the past 5-6 years I've just been listening to indie stuff since they make the music for genres I like listening to.

Thanks for fixing my links. I've been trying to modify them but I don't know how it works here.

Any 2010 examples of the genres you listed?

No prob, mate.

How it works is that you push the little Youtube button when making or modifying a post.

Pressing it makes these appear  →

Inbetween the you put the end piece of a youtube tag link.

So instead of "https://www.youtube.com/embed/G-Jr3Czk6rY 

OR this <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/G-Jr3Czk6rY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>



You instead put this G-Jr3Czk6rY which will make the video show up. Also make sure to not add the "" as I only added them to so you can see them in the post.

Awesome! Fixed.

I think you would like Lone if you already haven't listened to him.

Any 2010s examples of the genres you listed?

Arctic Monkeys, Radiohead, and Arcade Fire are still going strong this decade, while Kendrick Lamar is an incredibly talented artist to become famous only recently.

Awesome! Fixed.

I'll be sure to check out Lone if I can find any of his tracks.

Not sure if these Funky House tracks count as indie. If not my mistakes. As for the other genres you can find them on places like Youtube, Soundcloud, or Bandcamp.

Caravan Palace, Parov Stelar, Funky Panda, Peggy Suave etc. Again I'm not entirely sure if they count as Indie or just obscure. But you can a lot of their tracks on the internet.

Broken Social Scene is coming out with a new record soon! So excited!

Two artists I've only recently discovered, that I think are listed "Indie" as well: Sofi Tukker and Thomas Azier.


Sofi Tukker - Drinkee

I love this topic. People often wonder why I don't hate/despise the 2010s as the rest of you do on here. And these things here explain why:

Thanks to YouTube and the internet, it is incredibly easy to find underground stuff to like. That is one thing that is absolutely superior to the 2000s. The Indie scene is much more easily accessible in the 2010s.

Broken Social Scene released Hug of Thunder a little over a week ago and I'm enjoying it right now.

The YouTube Red hack will be useful for threads like this ;D

This isn't new, but I thought I would share it anyway. The song is on the soundtrack of FIFA 13, which is why i'm aware of it. Such a shame that this was never a hit in the mainstream. It's probably one of the best rock songs to have been released this decade, in my opinion. This should have been one of the biggest hits of 2013.
