Korean Indie Rock
Korean indie rock is a vibrant and eclectic genre characterized by its blend of catchy melodies, driving rhythms, and introspective lyrics, often infused with elements of post-punk, shoegaze, and electronic music. Emerging in the late 1990s and gaining momentum in the 2010s, the genre thrived in Seoul's underground music scene, where bands began experimenting with Western influences and traditional Korean sounds. Defined by its lo-fi production, jangly guitars, and emotive vocals, Korean indie rock often explores themes of youth culture, social disillusionment, and nostalgia. Drawing from international indie rock and Korean folk traditions, the genre has carved out a unique sonic identity, distinguished by its raw energy, poetic lyrics, and genre-bending eclecticism, making it a significant force in contemporary Korean music.
