SoundCloud indie

SoundCloud indie (also known as BandLab rock) is a style of indie rock that emerged in the early 2020s. The genre is defined as a form of indie and alternative rock emerging from the SoundCloud rap underground scene while primarily distributed on the online streaming service SoundCloud. The style draws primary influences from artists such as Alex G, Wifiskeleton and Jaydes. In 2025, the style grew in popularity on TikTok, with artists making use of beatmaker techniques, Alex G samples, drum machines, looped guitar beats, and sound effect ad-libs.
