Indie rock originated in the UK in the 1970s to describe independent record labels, but soon became associated with the music produced by those labels and linked to alternative rock. In the 1990s, as grunge and punk bands in the US and Britpop bands in the UK broke into the mainstream, the term "indie" took on meaning to describe bands that retained an outsider perspective. In the 2000s, as the music industry changed and the internet grew in importance, some indie rock bands began achieving unprecedented commercial success, bringing the meaning of "indie" into question.The beatles masxou g
