Dream Scenario: Original Motion Picture Score

Indie (short for “independent”) began as music made and released outside the major-label system, where a DIY ethos shaped everything from songwriting and recording to artwork and touring.

Indie pop is a melodic, DIY-rooted branch of alternative music that blends the immediacy of pop songwriting with the independence and aesthetics of underground scenes.

Experimental music is an umbrella term for practices that prioritize exploration, process, and discovery over adherence to established genre norms.
