Hindi Indie
Hindi indie is independent, non-film music sung in Hindi, mostly by singer-songwriters and bands who release their own songs online.
Typical songs are soft and guitar-led, with conversational lyrics about love and growing up, though the tag also covers rock bands and electronic pop. It grew in the 2010s as streaming and YouTube let Hindi-language artists find listeners without a film soundtrack. It is the Hindi-language part of Indian indie, and its small-scale, personal style contrasts with the big productions of Bollywood.
Artists it is known for: Prateek Kuhad, The Local Train.
