Indie Surf
Indie surf is a genre that embodies the carefree spirit of California's sun-kissed coast, blending jangly guitars, laid-back rhythms, and dreamy vocal harmonies. Emerging in the 2000s, indie surf drew inspiration from 1960s surf rock and post-punk, with artists incorporating lush reverb, driving drumbeats, and catchy hooks. Characterized by its warm, fuzzy sound and nostalgic charm, indie surf often features simple, repetitive melodies and lyrics that evoke a sense of youthful longing and wistful nostalgia. With its laid-back, West Coast vibe, indie surf has become synonymous with summertime and endless possibility, appealing to fans of indie rock, dream pop, and psychedelic music. Its DIY ethos and lo-fi production have also influenced the chillwave and bedroom pop movements.
