POV: Indie is a genre characterized by its lo-fi production, introspective lyrics, and genre-bending blend of indie rock, folk, and electronic elements. Emerging in the mid-2010s, it drew from the introspective songwriting of indie folk and the atmospheric soundscapes of chillwave. Notable for its DIY ethos and online presence, POV: Indie thrived on social media platforms, allowing artists to connect directly with fans and share their music. This genre is marked by its laid-back, introspective vibe, often featuring whispered vocals, minimalist instrumentation, and a focus on storytelling. Its cultural significance lies in its authentic, relatable portrayal of youthful angst and vulnerability, resonating with a generation of young adults seeking genuine artistic expression. With its eclectic sound and intimate, confessional style, POV: Indie has carved out a unique space within the indie music landscape, influencing a new wave of artists and redefining the boundaries of indie rock and folk.
