Rock:
Rock music is a genre of music. It developed during and after the 1960s in the United Kingdom and the United States. It originally started in the 1940s and 1950s with the start of rock and roll. Rock and roll grew out of rhythm and blues and country music. Rock mostly uses the electric guitar as part of a rock group with bass guitar and drums. But rock has become very different and it is hard to say what its common musical instruments are. Usually the 'typical' rock musicians are white, male people. During the late 1960's a variety of different rock music genres had come out. These included blues rock, folk rock, country rock and jazz rock fusion. Many of these contributed to psychedelic rock. Popualr artists that are included in the rock genre of music are bands such as Kings of Leon, Foo Fighters, Linkin Park etc.
Indie Rock:
Indie is short for independent. This means that the music and artists will come from a label that has no connection to one of the three major labels. Indie music is usually very different to the typical 'mainstream' music and is why it is usually not a genre that is really popualr comapared to the other genres of music such as pop and hip hop. This means that indie artists will try out things, for example new or different sounds. The styles can range from rock music to house music to pop music.
A person, mainly teenagers that listen to Indie rock music are known as 'Indie Kids' to the audience that enjoy that genre of music.
