Indie bands at one point ment bands that were different, unique sounding, borderline experimental. They were independent bands because big music record labels wouldn’t sign them, so it became a sub-genre. It’s now become the exact opposite.
Interestingly though, since music technology is now so widespread, indie (especially indie pop and indie rock) today are genres favouring vibes over the best possible quality, meaning it can be made by independent artists who don't have access to the best, most expensive equipment. So it's come around.
Thank you, from 2009 - 2014 almost every piece of media was saturated by indie music. It legitimately pushed me to listen to jazz and prog rock just for some variety.
@@HarrySeaton It's really epic! I'm trying to follow this format with my bass and guitar, but I'm not sure what swirly chords are lol I also don't know how many notes I should do in the pattern for the Bass part, is it supposed to be the same flow of notes that would be done on the guitar riff and vibe part or would it be different? Would love to know, thanks!
Everything is spot on, tho to be fair most of the indie pop artists I listen to are actually great lyricists. I always liked that about indie pop because unlike much of mainstream pop this holds more substance 😅
this is why i always just tell people who ask that i have bad music taste. unless i really like whoever it is then i tell them in detail and also say i have bad music taste
That actually sounds so good tho-
If this was a full song i would listen to it
Thanks so much, coming out next month!
@@HarrySeaton where is it coming out? I really like this beat!
its actually super good lol
@@HarrySeaton what's it called?
@@HarrySeaton please actually make this a full thing
The riff sounds like:
"She's been my queen
Since we were sixteen
We want the same things
We dream the same dreams"
@@wandacantsee9643 no the alright part doesn't comes it keeps looping 😂
EVERYBODY WANT TO STEAL MY GIRL
@@gracemonteleone1126 but you're the girl
😂😂😂
@@gracemonteleone1126 EVERYBODY WANNA TAKE HER HEART AWAY
Parodies a type of song, creates actual bop.
Haha thanks so much man!
@@HarrySeaton realease it bro!!! We need this!!!!
A better song than it was a parody. This doesn't sound much like any indie I've heard
@@HarrySeaton is it out?
Believe it or not, a lot of great famous songs started out like that
I swear every indie song has that swirly guitar sound, doesn’t matter who makes it, it’s gonna be in there somewhere
It's actually illegal if u don't have it
I blame Mac DeMarco
Its chorus pedal.
@@vixo551First person I thought of
Remember when Indie Band just meant they were under an Independent Label?
Pepperidge farm remembers.
Haha I remember
Why is this something I would passionately listen to 😭😭😭
The 1975 and Paramore's After Laughter be like
Hahahaha
This is basically The 1975’s formula to success, right here.
And Foals too
commercial type beat

sorry you got older man, me too
you're saying the music for Target labor day sale commercials isn't "indie" anymore??! Shocked I am!
100%

This would make a good alarm in the morning
Reminds me of Dayglow! Very nice ✨
I love dayglow! What is ur favourite song by him?
@@CherryBlossom13579 my fav song from Dayglow is fuzzybrain and woah man hbu? :p
@@stinkstink_mimi nice! I love can I call u tonight and medicine :)
@@CherryBlossom13579 entire discography for me!
@@CherryBlossom13579 i really like hot rod and listerine rn
This is pretty much how MGMT started.
Very true haha
that's one type of indie music, which is essentially just the 1975 lol
Extremely underrated ❤️
Thanks man!

Alsoo, would the progression be a bunch of notes from one scale or would it be universal fingering chord shapes for the Bass part? :)
Homie just made a whole vibe. Wtf 😂
‘if im a five your a three cause without you im two’
i did this because its a lyric that doesnt mean anything and it is not creative
I would listen to this all day omg!!! It's so good 😭❤
Harry Seaton you have a chance to be the new indie Harry Styles 😎👍
Already better than hairless styles
Lyrics that mean nothing lmao. I mean true for the most part but damn i would dance to this
Please release this as a full song! I can’t stop watching this short! It’s fire!!
How to make elevator/hotline music in 60 seconds
Haha very true
Accurate. In college we took a class on string instruments. This reminds me.
I just spent an hour putting something together on ableton and it’s literal garbage compared to this 😅
Well he probably spent more than an hour on this, so you don’t have to feel bad lol.
What did u expect, are you Prince or something? Did you think you'd create a good song in an hour 😂
@@philmedeiros2497 I thought I could but it turned out to be literal hot garbage 😭
hows it going bro?
REAAAL 😭
Ngl that bass line is 🔥
this is literally what “the most wanted song” (look it up) would sound like if the survey was made today
I wish this was a full song. I love the dreamy vibes.
Dang, that is a really great vibe in a minute dude. Truly inspiring 😮
Thanks so muchb
Everything is spot on, tho to be fair most of the indie pop artists I listen to are actually great lyricists. I always liked that about indie pop because unlike much of mainstream pop this holds more substance 😅
The autotune ruins the indie vibes though😔
that is great, I don't even know what this style is but love that layered effect.
the instrumental reminds me of city pop. Especially Sparkle by tatsuro yamashita
Thanks man, I had literally no idea what indie rock/ alt rock was and my friend was trying to start a band.
Indie isn't a style 😭😭😭
Being honest, this video was genuinely helpful. Thanks mate!
Bro you seriously got to make a full version of this song I wish it was longer it’s seriously fire🔥
I’m working on it dude! Thank you so much!
This is such a vibe
Felt a little retrowave/indie. I'm hoping you wrote a full version cause it's quite good so far.
Waiting for this to be outtttt❤✨🙌
Goddammit I would listen to the whole album, possibly for months on end
ok but this actually sounds so good i need this song
That shit slapped yo
Sounds like I'm in Old Navy.
This is like that video of Larry Bird where he tries to miss but still sinks it
Hahah thanks man!
This music reminds me of 'abhi kuch dino se' song from Indian hindi movie 'dil toh baccha hai ji', just this is in a fast pace.
Sounds like a UA-cam intro
I absulutely love indie songs!!!!
Then have your English teacher tell you to to figure out the meaning of the song even though they don’t mean anything
Have you released it yet? I like it so much i wanna listen to it!! Please tell me the title
Hoping to have it finished this month!! I’ll reply again when it’s out thanks so much!!
@@HarrySeaton awesome!! I'm looking forward to it!! 💜
Yeah I wanna hear it
@@hobinoodle same bro..i'm waiting for the full song..very nice vibes ..♥️
I wanna listen to it too
I played this in the vicinity of my 6yo sister and she went “dang this is a good song! you should learn it on your guitar!”
I can hear strong Tatsuro Yamashita influence
Like a cross between foals and 1975 lol
Sounds like city pop too to me ❤
No because why does the music sound like one of my favorite bands 😭
You are so gifted!! This sounds really good!!💗
I low key love this…
Reminded me of Daydream - The Aces
in the begining it reminded me so much of New Religion
reminds me of an 80’s song for some reason
Yeah I know what you mean!
that’s awesome!
what plugins do u use for guitar??
I will listen it all days
Sounds like a fifa 14 song and I love you for this
This song is giving vibes 🙌
Yeaaw.. 1 string for riff, alternative simpleness fun.. Indie rock Freedom of joy🌹🥀
reminds me of The less I know The better by Tame Impala! release the full song would be a summer bop for sure:)
“Ur always on my mind all the time” 💀
Add some banjo, claps, and woah woahs and you have the hipster version.
The vocals really tie it all together
That’s the power of editing
Sounds more like an 80's pop song than a typical indie song, but regardless, it's really good.
Be a good song for a video game trailer
Brother just lifted Sparkle by Tatsuro Yamashita
it’s giving khruangbin meets iron & wine
i usually don't listen to indie but this is genuinely impressive 😮
And it’s my favorite genre
you know there indie when they give the pick its actual name
Haha very true
Bro got Phill Collins inside him
😈
fr my sister thinks I can't sing about love and heartbreak just bc I've never experienced either 💀
Sounds like an 80's pop song
Beautiful! Link to the full song, please, as I couldn't find it on Spotify.
Omg, I finally found this video again..... Rlly helpful aswell
I would unironically listen to this on loop
Haha you can soon
This sounds more like indie pop, if there can be such a thing
Yeah I agree!
Bro this is a fookin banger!!!
Okay but this is something i would defidently listen to
Thanks! I'll get round to releasing it one day haha
The music in the beginning sounds like Mohit Chauhan's ABHI KUCH DINO SE 🎶🎵❤
This guy just nailed it
Legend thank yiu
“deep sounding lyrics that literally mean nothing”
well, that's one way to write an indie song.
It is
honestly you ate that
that guitar tone sounds like cute without the e
Love this thank you so much!
So glad!
Why is this so accurate lol
Low key keep making these bro I will sub
Aw dude this sounds so nice
Him *proceeds to write a classic*
this is why i always just tell people who ask that i have bad music taste. unless i really like whoever it is then i tell them in detail and also say i have bad music taste
You’re a beast
Thanks dude!
I legit was like this is gonna be so corny and dumb but I stand so corrected!
For a noob like me this is actually very helpful :')
Ah awesome!!
oh wow that was so nice!! and 😂😂 at the ending with the "lyrics that literally mean nothing" 😂😂 that made me laugh
he did it though, defined indie pop 100%
