It often features acoustic instruments, heartfelt lyrics, and a more personal, introspective sound compared to mainstream folk. Artists in this genre typically emphasize their individuality and creativity, avoiding commercial pressures. Indie folk can incorporate elements from other genres, leading to a diverse range of sounds and themes. Prominent indie folk artists, such as Bon Iver and Fleet Foxes, have contributed to its popularity, making it a significant movement in contemporary music.
