In our bengal there is always a band culture that started long ago on 1970's with Mahiner Ghoraguli and we still cherish our band culture and bands like Fossils Cactus Chandrabindu and New Bands Are still coming to the light like Fakira.
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.💩
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.
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.
I didn't know about this story but I am still obsessed with the old albums of artists like Sonu, Shaan, KK..❤ Those are the refreshments in this generation of music!

@silksonic3927 ek samay tha ki T-Series ko bhakti gaano ke liye jana jata tha par bhushan ne nora, neha, sunny leone.... ke item songs ban kar barbad kar diya
@@pushPa37419 Arre Nora, Sunny Leone to sab baad mein aaye. Bhushan Kumar ne Baap ke marte hin Kaanta Laga, Chadhti Jawani gaano ke remix versions aur semi vulgar music videos bana banake Music industry ko barbad kar dala. Upar se besharam sala in sab ke upar likhta tha "Gulshan Kumar presents.." Baap ka naam kharab kar dala modernization ke chakkar me. Soch ke bura lagta hai ki jis Gulshan Kumar ji ka sirf naam sunte hin Mann mein bhakti bhawana aa jaati thi, Hanuman Chalisa, Mata ki bheten, Aarti, Bhajan etc ki feelings aati thi. Usi naam ko aise vulgar music videos aur remixes ke cover me dekhne ko mila.
@@n_amnesiac I still listen to it and being a professional musician I can gaurantee you they are such beautiful songs man not possible in today's era,just listen to jal pari,sajni,panchi,strings ka durrr anjaney,mera bichra yaar etc unbelievably still great songs n so much sense in music lyrics n melody❤️
There was a time in 2013, I had lost hope in Indian music. I started listening to English, Japanese music. But i recent years it is nice to see independent artist coming up.
I became big fan of lucky Ali in 2020, and I had the dream to listen him live. In 2021 when everything started opening, I saw a concert of lucky Ali at Pune, I immediately booked and travelled 600km. It was one of the best experience of my life, I literally had the tears.
Bipasha Basu debuted in the popular "Tu" by Sonu Nigam (Aye Dilruba Kitna Haseen Mela). It was released in Kismat album under Magnasound label. But later, as the company went bankrupt, some of the songs of the album were sold to Sony Music under a compilation "Dil to Dil".
Biggest mistake Sonu Nigam made was to move to T series to make "Deewana" because Bhushan Kumar begged him to do the album for T series. Sonu did Deewana for T series and T series became a huge success when Deewana took off to the sky!! And then fast forward 12 years and Bhushan stabbed him in the back when the Copyright Law was rolled out in 2012.
When u talk about Indian rap music you can't ignore Brodha V 's contribution.... he is really underrated although more talented than any other Indian ❤rapper
@@pankajnaik8012 i don't think rajkumari has done anything for the community 🤷♂️, i don't think she's underrated though, Brotha v is phenomenal talent
I think it's Bengal where still the band culture is growing and it is growing better and larger than the playback culture here. Bands Like Fossils, Prithibi, Fakira, The Folk Diaries, Cactus and many more are still growing strong. If you feel it questionable then please visit a Fossils or Prithibi or Fakira concert... you will absolutely feel the craze here for rock and fusion musics. And also independent artists are also growing here by the grace of social music platforms. 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.
Very nicely explained ✌🏻 I m a 90’s kid n still I listen to 90’s indipop only , I don’t even know which song is trending now but I remember each n every indipop song’s lyrics , those songs were the best music of my life .
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. 🥺🙏🏽🌼
Abhi ke current scene mein new independents labels and distribution companies ne india ke indie pop scene ko almost revive krdiya with new artists There few examples which i have observe in last 3 years: ➡️Warner music india: 1.They sign KING and you know the rest 2.Right now , They have collaborated with karan aujla for his new album Makin memories 3.They have collaborated with jasleen royal for her new single heeriye featuring dulqueer salman. Indie pop has evolve into a new genres : punjabi pop, telugu pop etc
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.
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".

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.
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
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। 😊❤
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.
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.
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... 🫣🤩🤘🏻
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
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.😀😂🤣
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 🥴🥴
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.
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
Bollywood ruined this generation with their over romanticising everything. Love and relationships should be just a small part of our lives, not everything.
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

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, 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.
I still see some idiots defending 'bullywood' saying dumbing things like its pride of India and stuff. These people will never learn to think, or listen.
exactly, koi ni sunta globally, bas major labels paisa loot te rehte hain inka, audience hi chutiya hai bhai ek number ki yahan, bc movies mein gaane chahiye sabko,
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 🤷♀️
Mr. Honey Singh just cashed on the perverted fetishes of the young. His mere vibe is equal ti that of potential r@pist, a black mark on the music society.

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.
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💖💯
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.
In India heavy metal and rock music is still taboo but in future I will make a rock and heavy metal band and i will take this genre in mainstream and I'm ready to do the hardwork 💪🏻
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Baba Sehgal is legendary for releasing *Thanda Thanda Pani* ... Literally a copy of a copy ("inspired" by Ice Ice Baby, which in turn is mostly sampled from Under Pressure)
Bhai, aaj kal ke indie artists ke saath ek aur samasya hai ki unke gaane ko bade music labels chori karte hai an unke khilaaf koi kuch nahi karne pata.
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.
@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
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 ...
