Indie pop is a genre of alternative rock music that originated in the UK in the 80's. Indie pop was inspired by punk's DIY ethic, and it generated a thriving fanzine label, club and gig circuit. Indie pop differs from 'indie rock' to the extent that it seems more melodic and less abrasive.
The term "indie" had been used for some time to describe artists on independent labels ,but the key moment in the naming of "indie pop" as a genre was the release of NME's C86 tape in 1986. Artists were featured such as, 'Primal Scream', 'The Pastels', and 'The Wedding Present'. "Indie" became a genre identified by Jangling guitars, a love of '60's Pop, and melodic song structures.
