found: Wikipedia, Apr. 3, 2015(Indie pop; genre of alternative rock music that originated in the United Kingdom in the mid-1980s, with its roots in Scottish post-punk bands on the Postcard Records label in the early 1980s (Josef K and Orange Juice) and the dominant UK independent band of the mid-1980s, the Smiths.

Indie pop differs from indie rock to the extent that it is more melodic, less abrasive, and relatively angst-free)
