Hey NGR crew!
Welcome to Genre Spotlights
– our new home for diving deep into the wild world of indie and underground genres!
This subforum is all about shining a light on specific genres, subgenres, and niche sounds that deserve more love. Whether it’s a classic indie style or an emerging hybrid, let’s explore, share tracks, discuss history, and recommend hidden gems.
Ideas for threads here:
* Spotlight a genre (e.g., “Shoegaze Revival – Best New Indie Bands”)
* Share playlists or tracks that define a genre
* Discuss influences, evolution, or crossovers
* Ask for recommendations (“Need more dream pop with gothic vibes!”)
* Post interviews, articles, or videos about genre pioneers
Keep it indie-focused:
unsigned, emerging, or underground artists preferred.
All genres welcome
– rock, metal, EDM/dance, gothic, electronic, hip-hop, alternative, comedy music, psych, lo-fi, industrial, synthwave… you name it!
To start us off:

Let’s build the ultimate indie genre library together!
