Indie Sleaze

Namesake: Named for the indie dance music movement that was popular on forums & blogs in the late 2000s, and “sleaze” to describe the debauchery portrayed in its surrounding club scene.

Mid-late 2000s indie, sleazy sexy vibes, post-electroclash vague 70s-80s revival melange. American Apparel, electro-bands & the MySpace music scene, bloghaus, that colorful blocky handrawn lettering, the NYC party scene & photography, shutter shades.
