Indie Pop
Description of Indie Pop
Meanwhile, in the Pacific Northwest and California, Beat Happening paved the way for mostly female indie bands like Cub, the Softies and Lois, all of whom created fun and playful pop as a counterpoint to the politicized anger of the riot grrrl movement. Rather than addressing feminism and race and sexuality issues, indie pop bands focused on childhood fascinations like fluffy animals, nature, candy and the kind of love that doesn't go wrong.
