Indie pop (also typeset as indie-pop or indiepop) is a music genre and subculture that combines guitar pop with DIY ethic in opposition to the style and tone of mainstream pop music.
 It originated from British post-punk in the late 1970s and subsequently generated a thriving fanzine, label, and club and gig circuit.
 The style, a counterpart of indie rock, differs to the extent that it is more melodic, less abrasive, and relatively angst-free than other indie rock.
 In later years, the definition of "indie pop" has bifurcated to also mean bands from unrelated DIY scenes/movements with pop leanings.
 Subgenres include chamber pop and twee pop.
