Indie Rock/Pop Punk

The genre derived from influences like the clash and the buzzcocks. Pop Punk used pop melodies though played at a punk type tempo. They used loud anthem like guitar distortion. The Californian based bands such as Greenday, Pennywise and Offspring made radio friendly punk though sort of on the edge. Indie had a differenty sound using clean pop and elements from pop punk and electronic music. major bands like the Arctic Monkeys, Spectrum, Red House Paintngs etc. are still going strong today with there varied sounds.
