Collection: Jangle Pop

Jangle Pop is a melodic and upbeat guitar-driven genre that emerged in the 1980s, characterized by its bright, chiming guitar sounds and infectious pop sensibilities. With roots in various indie scenes across the globe, from the Dunedin Sound of New Zealand to the C86 movement in the UK, Jangle Pop has spawned numerous regional variations and influenced the development of Britpop and Power Pop. The genre's emphasis on jangly guitars, catchy hooks, and often introspective lyrics has left an indelible mark on indie rock, particularly in hotbeds like Melbourne, Manchester, and Athens, Georgia. From the twee pop stylings of Glasgow to the underground power pop scenes of various cities, Jangle Pop's influence can be heard in the indie rock landscapes of Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, with each region adding its own unique flavor to the genre's sunny, nostalgic sound.
