Kiwi Rock

Kiwi rock is a genre of music that originated in New Zealand, characterized by its eclectic blend of indie rock, psychedelic, and folk elements. Typically featuring jangly guitars, driving rhythms, and catchy hooks, kiwi rock often incorporates laid-back, atmospheric soundscapes and introspective lyrics. Emerging in the 1990s and gaining momentum in the 2000s, the genre drew inspiration from international indie and alternative scenes, while also reflecting New Zealand's unique cultural heritage. Kiwi rock's introspective and often melancholic tone resonated with a generation of young New Zealanders, providing a voice for their hopes, fears, and experiences. With its distinctive blend of psych-rock, folk, and pop influences, kiwi rock carved out a niche within the global indie rock landscape, distinct from Australian and British counterparts, while sharing a kinship with the US Pacific Northwest's grunge and indie scenes.
