Ohio Indie

Ohio indie is a distinctive subgenre of indie music emerging from the multifaceted and dynamic music scenes of Ohio. Characterized by its fusion of lo-fi production, authentic lyrical storytelling, and experimental instrumentation, Ohio indie exudes an earthy, grassroots charm. Artists in this genre often blend elements of folk, punk, and alternative rock, capturing a raw, unpolished sound that feels both intimate and innovative. From the introspective and acoustic-driven compositions of Human Petting Zoo to the eclectic nostalgia-infused melodies of Guided By Voices, Ohio indie thrives on its diverse, DIY ethos, offering a refreshing and irreverent take on indie music.
