I recently saw my youtube account again, and finally felt inspired to blog about something.
In the 90s, there was a nice music genre called 'Indipop' that became really popular. This is the equivalent of non-filmy songs, or pop albums in late 90s and early 2000s. To this day, the best music on my ipod belongs to this category. Apart from the fact that the songs were lovely and meaningful (in most cases!!), most of them had some beautiful videos to go with it. Thanks youtube for making me get most of what I wanted!
The most popular artists of back then would be Alisha Chinai, Asha Bhosale,(*hearts*) Silk Route(*sighs*), Adnan Sami, Anamika, Falguni Pathak(oh! oh! oh!), Band of Boys, Bombay Vikings (omg!!), Euphoria(wow!!), Lucky Alil(love him!!), Shweta Shetty, Suneeta Rao, Shaan, Shiamak Davar, Strings, Ustad Sultan Khan, AR Rahman.......
Then there was the remix era with DJ Aqueel, DJ Suketu and Bally Sagoo along with others who refreshed and brought the youngsters the precious old music such that they would love and understand it and relate to it only the way that generation could!
Where have they gone? When did they disappear? I mostly keep listening to the same music if I'm listening to Hindi. I dont even know if I have any recent music on my playlist! I am, at the very least, thankful to all the artists of then to have made such nice music. People like me, who grew up watching the sweet videos and listening to the melodies will always cherish them, and I hope that soon you guys will be back to with all that your fans wanna hear!
My favorite songs, videos and more analysis on Indipop will follow soon. Be there to go through them :)
