What’s Up, Indie Kid? Playlist

2003 to 2005 might be one of my favourite (recent) time periods for music. It wasn’t that long ago, but the music scene felt a whole lot different—which I think had a lot to do with how people discovered music back then. Indie music saw a big surge in popularity thanks to outlets such as The O.C.; there was no YouTube or Facebook, and CDs were still a big thing (I know – weird, right?). I’ve been feeling nostalgic lately (and apparently I’m not alone), so here are 50 songs to take you on a journey into the not-so-distant past.
