Indie Folk is a music genre that combines elements from traditional folk music with independent, contemporary sounds and lyrics. Born as a reaction to the commercial music industry, Indie Folk emphasizes the authenticity and personal expression of artists. Timbres such as acoustic guitar, violin, and harmonica often dominate, while the lyrics often focus on themes of nature, nostalgic past, or internal emotions. It is a genre that evokes intimacy and emotional connection with the listener.
