Indie is its own music genre. However, this could include indie pop, indie rock, etc. Because the songs are made independently, they do not receive the financial marketing of the large record label too. As a result, many independent songs are not known by the masses. So, if you are looking for songs not overplayed, indie songs would be a great place to start.
