Lol. I have been to Kolkata and Durgapur and no one listens to Bengholi songs....Not even their Radio FMs play any bengholi songs. It's either bollywood or Punjabi Pop.. That's how horrible Bengholi songs and music industry is. It's so horrible that they are not listened or popular in Benghol itself.😀😂 So don't lie. No one gives a &&hit about Bengholi music industry if there is even a thing called that. We are talking here about the BIG LEAGUES....not some unpopular cr**py bengholies. No one cares.💩
A reverse migration of Bollywood people to Indie Pop also happened for a brief period of time. Choreographers like Ganesh Hegde and Shaimak Davar went on to release their own album and promoted their work using Bollywood biggies.
Back in the day, India had a rock scene too. Rock Macine/Indus creed, Parikrama, Motherjane,Millenium, Agni, Mrigya, Nakshatra, Alms for shanti.. Man, I miss RSJ(rock street journal) , a magazine that promoted independent music in India.

As a 90s kid who grew up with these artists watching Mtv and Channel V, I am jumping up and down rught now. I'm not even Indian but I'm cheering and rooting for Indie Pop to cone back because this made me who I am as an artist, alongside Nazia Hasan from Pakistan and Madonna and Britney from overseas.

I am so glad to see someone making a video on this topic, so many artists from that time are still creating music but they don't have big labels to promote their videos like they promote those trashy songs on youtube. Had a chance to shoot a video with euphoria recently, and the insights Palash Sen gave about the way "a certain big label" has a monopoly on the Indian music scene. They just don't let independent artist rise and reach wider audience, because that big label decide what kind of music will work at a certain time, according to the roster of musicians they have, and this is constantly killing the whole indie industry, or whatever is left of it.
After listening all I now can say we Bengali have good number of pop audience both in west bengal Tripura and Bangladesh। Still Chandrabindu or ক্যাকটাস ব্যান্ড work extremely well। 😊❤
I agree with the fact that both Arijit and darshan are talented singers but does that mean that they should have monopoly over the whole industry. Every Bollywood album nowadays has at least 2 to 3 songs which are sung by Arijit because he is the most trending Indian artist nowadays and attracts audiences by his name in the title of the song. I think Bollywood is just over-exploiting him especially Pritam by making him sing in almost every other song. They don't care if his voice even suits that particular song or not. Hence deserving remains unexplored.
@@ayushrai8705 Touché, but I've watched ArmaanMalik's interview in which he said that Bollywood doesn't pay these singers fairsome amount that's why most singers have left Bollywood music industry
@@rohitavhad2592 that's true but I am talking about the monopoly of few singers nowadays. In the 2000s we had Sonu, KK, Shaan, Mohit, Javed,Adnan, Benny, Papon and occasionally Udit and Kumar Sanu which used to get songs on the basis of whose voice will fit perfectly on a particular song. We used to get a variety of voices in hit songs. Nowadays mostly hit songs are sung by one singer only and it's good for Arijit but not for true lovers of music. Same copy paste formula with the same reggaeton beat.
@@rohitavhad2592 have you noticed that the song "tere sang Ishq hua" from the movie "yodha" is seemed to be inspired from "raataan lambiyan" success. Like they had created a similar song with different lyrics and different singers. Also "phir aur kya chahiye" has overall same structure as "apna bana le".
Nothing went wrong we still listen to those Epic fantastic songs 💕 every now and then ! Nothing can ever replace those songs, picturisation, lyrics & memories attached with them !
Well said, I believe it was re targeting of those Indie Artists by Bollywood. They got the Indie Artists to feature in music that would take away the music fanatics as Audiences and replace them with people who Obsess over trendy music, only to replace it with something different very quickly. So naturally the fan buildup stopped for Indie Artists there and then but music fanatics like You and myself are still Indie fans till date.
There were so lovely artists back then, Jasmine's Prem, Mehnaz's Mein hoon, Style bhai's Suba suba jab khirki khole, Raageshwari, Mohit, Shail, Shweta's Johnny joker, Sharon Prabhaakar's Mama mia, Bina Mistry, Aditi's Multiply, Suchitra's dum tara, Vikas Bhalla's Awaara, Suneeta Rao's Kesariya roop maaro and Pari hu mein, Anaida's Oova oova, Sukhbir's Ohoho Ishq tera tarrpaave and Punjabi mundy paun bhangra, unforgettable lovely music.
Famous ? Lol. In your dreams kengali. No one knows about any of them. I have been to Benghol and no one listens to Bengholi songs, much less bengholi rock even if there is anything like that.💩....I have seen how during Navratri, Bengholies were playing Chikni Chameli and Haryanvi Songs too. They were playing some age old nauseating noisy bengholi songs too but not a single new bengholi song which shows how pathetic their songs and talent must be.💩🤣🤣 So don't brag here about ur l00ser Benghol.
But in the 80's and 90's when our film industry was strong (in Bangladesh), at the same time independent music bands were thriving and very successful and even more so compared to current band music
Thank you, Vedant. 90s pop/rock bands/artists ka bahut accha samay tha. Lucky Ali ka sifar album ekdum mainstream music/lyrics se opposite tha. But as you said baad mein he was swallowed by Bollywood in early 2000s (kaho na pyar hai). Ek artist apko mention karna chahiye tha, Falguni Pathak. She is one indie artist jisne Bollywood se khud ko alag rakha. By the way, Bilal Maqsood of Strings (Pakistan) se pucha Gaya tha ki India k pop/rock bands aur Pakistan k bands (Junoon, Strings, Jal, Fuzon, etc.) mein Kya difference hai? Bilal ne kaha India mein film music is the major driving force which eventually is more dominating in market than indie music. Whereas Pakistan bands became more global or at least very popular in Asian market due to their separate culture with film industry. Eventually it's all about funding. Bollywood is a whale which can swallow up all the small fishes. Problem is, 90s indie pop was refreshing and creative. Most of post 90s bollywood music is purely crap, except for few artists and some songs.
Very well made videos and apt analysis! I can very well noticed a timeframe during early 2000 (2004-2007 or so on) when I also discussed this same thing amongst my friends. MTV, Channel V is everything but not a music channel anymore because it was only showing Splitsvilla, Roadies, etc.etc. Then came ZoomTv that time which was Bollywood songs & bollywood entertainment news which I loved a lot actually.
You really spoke my mind out!!! This feeling that every genuine music lover had since decades was really real and trueeee!!! 🥹😪 Really well crafted & worthy content I'd say 👌🏻👏🏻 Big shoutouts to Indian Indie bands / artists who shaped me as an independent musician today: - The Local Train - Parvaaz - Swastik the band - Jatayu - Checkmates - Agam - Bipul Chettri - Prateek Kuhad - Taba Chake - Your Chin - Them Clones - Mali Manoj - Kayan - Fame the band - When Chai Met Toast - Peepal Tree - The Koi - Shubhank Sharma - Bloodywood - Dehlvees - Girish And The Chronicles - Naalayak - Indian Ocean - Parikrama - That Boy Roby - Sutej Singh - Saby Singh - Bolly Jazz - Jasleen Royal - Sid Sriram - Parekh & Singh - Blackstratblues - Komorebi - The Yellow Diary Update: Tribal Rain (Sikkim) is such a phenomenal band that no one should be missing!! 🥲👌🏻 And so on... 🫣🤩🤘🏻
as a 90s kid Im glad i'm watching this after i got lost into the soulful Indie music of today after discovering day before yesterday..One of the song even reminded me of Lucky Ali😉....Every single line of any Indie music is so meaningful💖
Bhai aapki video me research aur mehnat dikh rahi hai. Kudos to you! Haan aapse foreign bands ke baare me bhi jaanne ko mila aur Indian bands jika pata nahi tha, phir se interest aa gaya. Thank you so much bhai❤🫡
banger video hai ye toh, topic bhi interesting plus sab itne badhiya se integrate kiya hai waise bg mein thriller horror music kyun bajaya beech mein, and why did it fit so well 🥴🥴
The thing is our independence artists never got the chance to rise, rise seperately from Bollywood. If any artist gets even a little bit of famous, Bollywood immediately captures them and then suck all the money out of them as much as possible. I stopped listening to Hindi music around 2016 because at that time I realised that the only songs I will be hearing are love, breakup or sad songs. Anything extra, that doesn't exist in Indian music. For a long time, I used to believe music is only made for movies. Also, majority of Hindi songs are made for Bollywood or somehow are related to it. We are so used to them that we don't even care about any independent artist. Also, we know Arijit Singh, Jubin Nautiyal and other famous singers mostly because of Bollywood, who are now just trapped in their genre. They just won't make any different music. And If we really want to push Indian independent music on a global level, we have to make songs in English. Hindi is the 3rd most spoken language but concentrated in India. So to capture first hand audience, we have to produce English songs, and then slowly we can roll out Hindi songs as well. Because world has a concept in its mind that if it's an Hindi/Indian songs, it's of a movie, and if it's a movie song, its just a party song where everyone is dancing without any soul or context. That's the reality. Face it and change it to grow from it.
Hearing that you have stopped listening to hindi music since 2016 is actually really sad.....i would like to recommend you "Rahgir" an indie artist....seeing that you want something other than love,breakup and stuff...i think you might like him..Do let me know if you liked his music style.
No one asked. No one cares. Kengali macchikhors. I have lived in Kolkata and not even their radio FMs play Kengali songs. They rather play Bollywood or Punjabi Pop songs. They play bhojpuri and Bollywood songs in their Durga Puja and other functions. That's how horrible Bengholi songs and music industry is. So horrible that Bengholies themselves don't listen to it.😀😂🤣
Monopoly of any organization over any field can single handly destroy creativity, originality and artistic values. They try to mass produce things by doing commercialization. Same could be applied to indian music industry.
I am an independent Artist & yet managed to get my songs on Spotify Charts solely without a label, manager or fancy equipment. I have sung over 2000 jingles in the last ten years & I'd like your support & ears on my music. Keep listening
@5:11 Subir Malik is NOT from Silk Route; the magazine you quoted from is wrong. Subir Malik was one of the founding members of legendary Indian band called Parikrama
I remember we had so many cassettes back then, with wonderful songs of indian artists. All credit goes to my sister. As much as I can recall, we used to spend our evenings listening to Adnan Sami's and other artists' albums.
Nicely covered Vedant. As a subtext, since there is so much Film music which is nothing but dream pop any way, Indie pop was a luxury in India unlike other societies. As modern pop music goes, it is same repetitive, autotuned to death material. Human touch is all gone.
Very well orchestrated well documented in a nut shell.... I agree with everything he mentioned I saw all the changes and the developments over the years.
well said bro.. This is the real truth of how an Artist is being exploited by this so called label.. As the legend Sonu Nigam sir said "koi chis ka agar ryata felana ho to use India pe lao" it is So sad and frustrating, being a musician or artist is very tough in India ...
not an indian but a bollywood enjoyer i noticed a pattern that many artists especially mainstream rarely release full album by themselves and their labels which is not a part of a movie, it's mostly singles and ost i was absolutely shocked when i found out dewani mastani was not a lead single by shreya for her album but rather a ost indian music is really great if artists start releasing albums which are not just osts of movies if they release physical versions of albums and promote it in global basis i think it will be a major success
Well researched. The new generation MUST view this content with brains. then make an informed decision. I was born in the mid 60's and had seen all these UPs and DOWNS.
90s indipop , like many things, was a result of indias 1991 liberalization. Before and after there were already independent albums, but didn’t have a platform that liberalization brought. While the songs were popular, they couldn’t compete with the scale and money raked in by Bollywood films. Most artists used indie fame to become playback singers.
You have choosen the right topic. It was running in my mind. Look at our coke studio vs Pakistan coke studio. It was different story when MADARI was on Air some time before but now its BASTI KA HASTI BRO BOOM VANISHED
It's not just Bollywood.. Nowadays musicians all over the world rarely make good music.. No doubt the songs become an instant hit but few songs have the evergreen factor.. Even the indie musicians nowadays make same type of generic music
Monopoly of any organization over any field can single handly destroy creativity, originality and artistic values. They try to mass produce things by doing commercialization. Same could be applied to indian music industry.
Is anyone here who knows about KAASH THE BAND. They used to have so much potential. Their songs like MAIN LAUT AAUNGA, SAAWAN used to be on my mind 24x7. One of my FAVOURITES till date.
Bollywood ruined this generation with their over romanticising everything. Love and relationships should be just a small part of our lives, not everything.
I believe thr primary reason for the disappearance of indie songs is pendrive. Their business was solely depend upon selling cd and DVD with the rise of internet and sharing medium like pendrives killed their business. However, other reasons also were valid.
Guys, there are so many indie artists like Fiddlecraft, Piyush Bhisekar, Hanita Bhambri, Shreyas Bhartiya, Akshit Dhall, Himanshu Chavan, Akash Ravichopra and so many more artists that I might actually turn this comment into a f'n blog 😂. So, do check out indie music coz this is definitely the best time to be alive to listen to indie music not only in india but also all over the world💖💯
As a Jazz and Western/Indian Classical music listener 'Which is the only kind of music' I solely agree why Stevie Wonder and Leonard Bernstein kind of revolutionists never reached the masses.
Whenever I saw these popular music charts, I used to wonder why can't Indian music be there? This video is an eye opener for Indian Music industry 🤷♀️
that thing you said - bahar artist popular hai, india mein bollywood gaane famous hai! so impactful and true!!! indian artists have so much talent and stage presence....a lot of western artists cant dont have that and yet they are popular! but whats the use of that talent when they sing horrible songs eg kakkar siblings. almost everything coming out of the movie industry is generic and popular music has demeaning lyrics eg - badshah.
Monopoly of any organization over any field can single handly destroy creativity, originality and artistic values. They try to mass produce things by doing commercialization. Same could be applied to indian music industry.
Totally agree with this everyday used to switch channels between MtV and Channel V ..all these artists from the 90's are real diamonds ❤❤ thanks bollywood for ruining everything Karma has hit hard bollywood sucks nothing but remakes and copies just suck
One of the most informative video. Hats off to you Vadant Bhai for doing an amazing work on creating this video. I'm sure no one else would be able to provide this except you. You are right the 360 deal. It's been a death wish deal which has taken place since the time of Roc A Fella, Cashmoney.records, Def jam & many more.
Ab khud ki tareef kya karna Alisha Chinoy ke gaane to aaj bhi repeat pe sunta hu even though I'm not a 90s kid actually. Especially, the songs "mere saath", "lover girl", "Aaja" etc from made in india album and new age songs too are great. From lyrics to the composition and the music, everything was top notch.
saregama and HMV are same...as the later been aquired by the former...also both the labels supported indie artists/bands in Bengal....cause that a old tradition there. Bengali music does not depend on film music and still carrying that legacy

Yes the aftermath of the "playback" culture is still haunting us but not just now but in old times so much Bengali artists had released single albums and those songs still are in hearts of people.
You can't say like this.
You mean new Bangladesh?
@@cherp5837 nah he means the same old randia 😍😍
As a 90s kid who grew up with these artists watching Mtv and Channel V, I am jumping up and down rught now. I'm not even Indian but I'm cheering and rooting for Indie Pop to cone back because this made me who I am as an artist, alongside Nazia Hasan from Pakistan and Madonna and Britney from overseas. Thanks for making this video. 🥺🙏🏽🌼

I am so glad to see someone making a video on this topic, so many artists from that time are still creating music but they don't have big labels to promote their videos like they promote those trashy songs on youtube. Had a chance to shoot a video with euphoria recently, and the insights Palash Sen gave about the way "a certain big label" has a monopoly on the Indian music scene. They just don't let independent artist rise and reach wider audience, because that big label decide what kind of music will work at a certain time, according to the roster of musicians they have, and this is constantly killing the whole indie industry, or whatever is left of it.
There was only KK who sustained through out simply because his new generation KK school of singing style.
After listening all I now can say we Bengali have good number of pop audience both in west bengal Tripura and Bangladesh। Still Chandrabindu or ক্যাকটাস ব্যান্ড work extremely well। 😊❤
8:04 DarshanRaval & ArijitSingh toh phir bhi talented hai, but NEHA KAKKAR jaise log toh completely undeserving hote hue bhi famous celebs bann gaye
I agree with the fact that both Arijit and darshan are talented singers but does that mean that they should have monopoly over the whole industry. Every Bollywood album nowadays has at least 2 to 3 songs which are sung by Arijit because he is the most trending Indian artist nowadays and attracts audiences by his name in the title of the song. I think Bollywood is just over-exploiting him especially Pritam by making him sing in almost every other song. They don't care if his voice even suits that particular song or not. Hence deserving remains unexplored.
@@ayushrai8705 Touché, but I've watched ArmaanMalik's interview in which he said that Bollywood doesn't pay these singers fairsome amount that's why most singers have left Bollywood music industry
@@rohitavhad2592 that's true but I am talking about the monopoly of few singers nowadays. In the 2000s we had Sonu, KK, Shaan, Mohit, Javed,Adnan, Benny, Papon and occasionally Udit and Kumar Sanu which used to get songs on the basis of whose voice will fit perfectly on a particular song. We used to get a variety of voices in hit songs. Nowadays mostly hit songs are sung by one singer only and it's good for Arijit but not for true lovers of music. Same copy paste formula with the same reggaeton beat.
@@rohitavhad2592 have you noticed that the song "tere sang Ishq hua" from the movie "yodha" is seemed to be inspired from "raataan lambiyan" success. Like they had created a similar song with different lyrics and different singers. Also "phir aur kya chahiye" has overall same structure as "apna bana le".
Bro neha kakkar is also a good singer , but the demand of industry made her become what she’s
Vedant, one of the best video of yours till date ⭐
Coke studio is a Gem 💎, The local train, is an emotion,
Anvu jain is the 🌧️
Yes shows like coke studio is required for india pop and rock culture to survive.
Nothing went wrong we still listen to those Epic fantastic songs 💕 every now and then ! Nothing can ever replace those songs, picturisation, lyrics & memories attached with them !
Well said, I believe it was re targeting of those Indie Artists by Bollywood. They got the Indie Artists to feature in music that would take away the music fanatics as Audiences and replace them with people who Obsess over trendy music, only to replace it with something different very quickly. So naturally the fan buildup stopped for Indie Artists there and then but music fanatics like You and myself are still Indie fans till date.
@@murtza.rehman 😊👍
There were so lovely artists back then, Jasmine's Prem, Mehnaz's Mein hoon, Style bhai's Suba suba jab khirki khole, Raageshwari, Mohit, Shail, Shweta's Johnny joker, Sharon Prabhaakar's Mama mia, Bina Mistry, Aditi's Multiply, Suchitra's dum tara, Vikas Bhalla's Awaara, Suneeta Rao's Kesariya roop maaro and Pari hu mein, Anaida's Oova oova, Sukhbir's Ohoho Ishq tera tarrpaave and Punjabi mundy paun bhangra, unforgettable lovely music.
What an analysis! Keep it up rusty
Mr. Lucky Ali❤️ ahead of his era❤️
Listening to Aryans and Falguni Pathak I was wondering about the same question. Glad someone made a video about it.
Independent rock bands are famous in West Bengal and Bangladesh where film industry is not that strong .
Famous ? Lol. In your dreams kengali. No one knows about any of them. I have been to Benghol and no one listens to Bengholi songs, much less bengholi rock even if there is anything like that.💩....I have seen how during Navratri, Bengholies were playing Chikni Chameli and Haryanvi Songs too. They were playing some age old nauseating noisy bengholi songs too but not a single new bengholi song which shows how pathetic their songs and talent must be.💩🤣🤣 So don't brag here about ur l00ser Benghol.
But in the 80's and 90's when our film industry was strong (in Bangladesh), at the same time independent music bands were thriving and very successful and even more so compared to current band music
Thank you, Vedant. 90s pop/rock bands/artists ka bahut accha samay tha. Lucky Ali ka sifar album ekdum mainstream music/lyrics se opposite tha. But as you said baad mein he was swallowed by Bollywood in early 2000s (kaho na pyar hai). Ek artist apko mention karna chahiye tha, Falguni Pathak. She is one indie artist jisne Bollywood se khud ko alag rakha. By the way, Bilal Maqsood of Strings (Pakistan) se pucha Gaya tha ki India k pop/rock bands aur Pakistan k bands (Junoon, Strings, Jal, Fuzon, etc.) mein Kya difference hai? Bilal ne kaha India mein film music is the major driving force which eventually is more dominating in market than indie music. Whereas Pakistan bands became more global or at least very popular in Asian market due to their separate culture with film industry. Eventually it's all about funding. Bollywood is a whale which can swallow up all the small fishes. Problem is, 90s indie pop was refreshing and creative. Most of post 90s bollywood music is purely crap, except for few artists and some songs.
Very well made videos and apt analysis!
I can very well noticed a timeframe during early 2000 (2004-2007 or so on) when I also discussed this same thing amongst my friends.
MTV, Channel V is everything but not a music channel anymore because it was only showing Splitsvilla, Roadies, etc.etc.
Then came ZoomTv that time which was Bollywood songs & bollywood entertainment news which I loved a lot actually.
You really spoke my mind out!!! This feeling that every genuine music lover had since decades was really real and trueeee!!! 🥹😪
Really well crafted & worthy content I'd say 👌🏻👏🏻

Thank God; I have lived through and experienced all those eras with childhood excitement that cannot be calculated
Bhai aapki video me research aur mehnat dikh rahi hai. Kudos to you!
Haan aapse foreign bands ke baare me bhi jaanne ko mila aur Indian bands jika pata nahi tha, phir se interest aa gaya. Thank you so much bhai❤🫡
banger video hai ye toh, topic bhi interesting plus sab itne badhiya se integrate kiya hai
waise bg mein thriller horror music kyun bajaya beech mein, and why did it fit so well 🥴🥴
I was lucky enough to watch a show of Lucky Ali in my hometown Siliguri, West Bengal.
Saw your video for the 1st time broo...and I literally loved it...the hardwork you did in the video pleased me❤❤❤
You have a great journey ahed..
Sonu nigam private albums are emotions♥️♥️
Deewana, jaan ,yaad ♥️
Yes. And also Lucky Ali and Falguni Pathak. Sanam and Ritvij is also great rn.
@@Rahul_Singh100 ronit vinta, last minute India, when Chai met toast are good too..I don't like much of ritviz
Jaan is an amazing album. Very versatile production.
@@vikingsoffuture yaad is more versatile in terms of production and singing
Now a days Music has become more Business than Art.
The thing is our independence artists never got the chance to rise, rise seperately from Bollywood.
If any artist gets even a little bit of famous, Bollywood immediately captures them and then suck all the money out of them as much as possible. I stopped listening to Hindi music around 2016 because at that time I realised that the only songs I will be hearing are love, breakup or sad songs. Anything extra, that doesn't exist in Indian music. For a long time, I used to believe music is only made for movies.
Also, majority of Hindi songs are made for Bollywood or somehow are related to it. We are so used to them that we don't even care about any independent artist.
Also, we know Arijit Singh, Jubin Nautiyal and other famous singers mostly because of Bollywood, who are now just trapped in their genre. They just won't make any different music.
And If we really want to push Indian independent music on a global level, we have to make songs in English. Hindi is the 3rd most spoken language but concentrated in India. So to capture first hand audience, we have to produce English songs, and then slowly we can roll out Hindi songs as well.
Because world has a concept in its mind that if it's an Hindi/Indian songs, it's of a movie, and if it's a movie song, its just a party song where everyone is dancing without any soul or context.
That's the reality. Face it and change it to grow from it.
Hearing that you have stopped listening to hindi music since 2016 is actually really sad.....i would like to recommend you "Rahgir" an indie artist....seeing that you want something other than love,breakup and stuff...i think you might like him..Do let me know if you liked his music style.
@@janhavi_gupta sure👍🏼
@@RandomKun 🫀🫀👍
@@RandomKun sooo did you like it? Does it suit your style?
@@janhavi_gupta yeah, I loved his style. I particularly liked his song "Rahgira mila Kabira se".
Thanks for the recommendation 👍🏼👍🏼
You forgot to mention Falguni Pathak she also was very famous and popular among youth her songs were also hit and topped the chart of that time
This was my question for many years!!! Thank you for answering it!
Very nice video.. Informative... Lucky Ali did say he left Bollywood because of politics... But didn't know so much go on behind d screen
One of the best videos of vedant in past 3-4 years
In my opinion, Bengali independent music has gathered a strong fan base . Thanks to Fossils, Mohiner ghoraguli, Cactus ❤
No one asked. No one cares. Kengali macchikhors. I have lived in Kolkata and not even their radio FMs play Kengali songs. They rather play Bollywood or Punjabi Pop songs. They play bhojpuri and Bollywood songs in their Durga Puja and other functions. That's how horrible Bengholi songs and music industry is. So horrible that Bengholies themselves don't listen to it.😀😂🤣
Akdom
Akdom dada
indeed...bengali music evolved in various ways
@@Rahul_Singh100 chal hat bimari....
Bloodywood. Indian folk metal band from Delhi. They're killing it outside through tours and concerts.
they're too good!
They're awesome.
Your video is so informative..... Loved it ♥️
Thanks a ton
The destroyer is.. Bollywood ❌ Music Labels like T Series ✅
Dono alag alag hotay hai. 🤣
Monopoly of any organization over any field can single handly destroy creativity, originality and artistic values.
They try to mass produce things by doing commercialization.
Same could be applied to indian music industry.
Great research brother, thought that you are a singer but found that it's a gk channel, great work❤
I am an independent Artist & yet managed to get my songs on Spotify Charts solely without a label, manager or fancy equipment. I have sung over 2000 jingles in the last ten years & I'd like your support & ears on my music. Keep listening
Vedant bhai you are one of my fav youtuber jiske liye TH-cam open krta hun... Great content,Keep growing brother ❤️
Diljit Dosanjh, AP Dillion, sidhu moose wala and many more artists are there who are working at international level and equally famous.
😂😂 chapri logo ne inhe popular Kiya hai.
DD2 showed independent artists songs like Shan's and a song named "Cinderella" of some artist. Alisha Chinoy was on that too apart from many others.
@5:11 Subir Malik is NOT from Silk Route; the magazine you quoted from is wrong.
Subir Malik was one of the founding members of legendary Indian band called Parikrama
I remember we had so many cassettes back then, with wonderful songs of indian artists. All credit goes to my sister. As much as I can recall, we used to spend our evenings listening to Adnan Sami's and other artists' albums.
Thank you so much for this video i also wanted to share the same feeling with whole world long time ago n you made my job done
Glad to hear that
Nicely covered Vedant. As a subtext, since there is so much Film music which is nothing but dream pop any way, Indie pop was a luxury in India unlike other societies. As modern pop music goes, it is same repetitive, autotuned to death material. Human touch is all gone.
Very well orchestrated well documented in a nut shell.... I agree with everything he mentioned I saw all the changes and the developments over the years.
well said bro.. This is the real truth of how an Artist is being exploited by this so called label.. As the legend Sonu Nigam sir said "koi chis ka agar ryata felana ho to use India pe lao"
it is So sad and frustrating, being a musician or artist is very tough in India ...
Great explanation. Famous pakistani rocks also inspired many artist in that era. Unfortunately, the whole south Asia suffered the downfall. 🇳🇵
Great video with great research💫💫💫💫
Now Bollywood is only making remakes.......90s best tha
not an indian but a bollywood enjoyer i noticed a pattern that many artists especially mainstream rarely release full album by themselves and their labels which is not a part of a movie, it's mostly singles and ost
i was absolutely shocked when i found out dewani mastani was not a lead single by shreya for her album but rather a ost
indian music is really great if artists start releasing albums which are not just osts of movies if they release physical versions of albums and promote it in global basis i think it will be a major success
This video is so smooth man the sound design is the best
Well researched. The new generation MUST view this content with brains. then make an informed decision. I was born in the mid 60's and had seen all these UPs and DOWNS.
90s indipop , like many things, was a result of indias 1991 liberalization. Before and after there were already independent albums, but didn’t have a platform that liberalization brought. While the songs were popular, they couldn’t compete with the scale and money raked in by Bollywood films. Most artists used indie fame to become playback singers.
You have choosen the right topic. It was running in my mind. Look at our coke studio vs Pakistan coke studio. It was different story when MADARI was on Air some time before but now its BASTI KA HASTI BRO
BOOM
VANISHED
It's not just Bollywood.. Nowadays musicians all over the world rarely make good music.. No doubt the songs become an instant hit but few songs have the evergreen factor.. Even the indie musicians nowadays make same type of generic music
Another reason is today's generation where people would love more on Music rather Lyrics.
@@FreefireLover-m7m That's your thinking music is not all about vocals or lyrics.
You can say that about pop but prog music is still good

KK sir was the gem after 90s ...Even KK sir's all songs are legendary He should be given more and more songs...
thanks to youtube now indian artists are getting recognition without bollywood. bands like The local train, Bloodywood, Prateek kuhaad, Ritviz etc
soo much information mere ko toh kabhi indie pop culture ka pata he nahi tha thankyou
Is anyone here who knows about KAASH THE BAND.
They used to have so much potential.
Their songs like MAIN LAUT AAUNGA, SAAWAN used to be on my mind 24x7.
One of my FAVOURITES till date.
3:30 bipasha debuted in sonu nigam's Tu kab yeh jaanegi
Bollywood ruined this generation with their over romanticising everything. Love and relationships should be just a small part of our lives, not everything.
Accurate infact love and relationship are not for everyone. It's all karma accumulated from past lives.
Explanation like smoothie...loved it
I believe thr primary reason for the disappearance of indie songs is pendrive. Their business was solely depend upon selling cd and DVD with the rise of internet and sharing medium like pendrives killed their business. However, other reasons also were valid.
Amazing video... My dream is to bring back 90s songs era. Every song used to have a story... ❤
Guys, there are so many indie artists like Fiddlecraft, Piyush Bhisekar, Hanita Bhambri, Shreyas Bhartiya, Akshit Dhall, Himanshu Chavan, Akash Ravichopra and so many more artists that I might actually turn this comment into a f'n blog 😂. So, do check out indie music coz this is definitely the best time to be alive to listen to indie music not only in india but also all over the world💖💯
Sanjay Maroo, Vedic Chant etc very few even knows their names, they really gave some very different rhythms and beat.
Ahhh yeahhh old series is backkkk 🌚❤
As a Jazz and Western/Indian Classical music listener
'Which is the only kind of music'
I solely agree why Stevie Wonder and Leonard Bernstein kind of revolutionists never reached the masses.

glad you came up on this topic..
Great analysis 🎉
Appreciate it!
Thank you for adding Dr. Bhupen Hazarika sir ❤ big appreciation
Independent albums ka alag hi Nasha hota hai
Humsafar album (kk sir) is very underrated (also silk route band)
Whenever I saw these popular music charts, I used to wonder why can't Indian music be there? This video is an eye opener for Indian Music industry 🤷♀️
that thing you said - bahar artist popular hai, india mein bollywood gaane famous hai! so impactful and true!!!
indian artists have so much talent and stage presence....a lot of western artists cant dont have that and yet they are popular! but whats the use of that talent when they sing horrible songs eg kakkar siblings. almost everything coming out of the movie industry is generic and popular music has demeaning lyrics eg - badshah.
Badsaha aur Kakkar siblings pe to ban lagni chahiye . Bhai Sahab ! Ghatiya gana gane mein sirf inhey Salman Khan hi takkar de sakta hey

Wow!! That's very insightful and informative video🙌
Totally agree with this everyday used to switch channels between MtV and Channel V ..all these artists from the 90's are real diamonds ❤❤ thanks bollywood for ruining everything Karma has hit hard bollywood sucks nothing but remakes and copies just suck
One of the most informative video. Hats off to you Vadant Bhai for doing an amazing work on creating this video. I'm sure no one else would be able to provide this except you. You are right the 360 deal. It's been a death wish deal which has taken place since the time of Roc A Fella, Cashmoney.records, Def jam & many more.
Ab khud ki tareef kya karna Alisha Chinoy ke gaane to aaj bhi repeat pe sunta hu even though I'm not a 90s kid actually. Especially, the songs "mere saath", "lover girl", "Aaja" etc from made in india album and new age songs too are great. From lyrics to the composition and the music, everything was top notch.
saregama and HMV are same...as the later been aquired by the former...also both the labels supported indie artists/bands in Bengal....cause that a old tradition there. Bengali music does not depend on film music and still carrying that legacy
Excellent article and extraordinary presentation. You gave answers of many of my questions. ❤❤❤
