About this playlist
The '00s saw indie take a more optimistic detour, replacing the grit and melancholy that had defined it in previous decades with upbeat elements from the pop world. Acts like The Shins, Peter, Bjorn & John, and Belle & Sebastian led this charge of joyousness, bringing swoon-worthy melodies and romantic lyrics into the fold.
