OK Indie (Oklahoma Indie) is a regional music scene and genre tag that encompasses the independent music output from the state of Oklahoma, particularly centered around the cities of Norman, Oklahoma City, and Tulsa. It is characterized by a diverse yet cohesive blend of sounds that often merges the state's deep roots in folk, country, and 'Red Dirt' music with the experimental, DIY ethos of alternative rock and neo-psychedelia. The sound can range from lo-fi, garage-rock energy and dreamy, synth-laden pop to introspective, acoustic-driven Americana. Lyrically, it often features storytelling that reflects the vast landscapes of the Southern Plains, personal introspection, and a distinct 'heartland' sensibility that balances melancholy with resilience.
