From Wikipedia
Post-punk revival (also known as indie rock revival or garage rock revival) is a musical scene and movement that emerged in the early 2000s. Originating as a stripped-down and back-to-basics version of guitar rock inspired by the original sounds and aesthetics of post-punk, new wave and garage rock, the movement became closely associated with the new wave revival and garage rock revival.
The genre has an emphasis on "rock authenticity" that was seen as a reaction to the commercialism of MTV-oriented nu metal, hip hop and "bland" post-Britpop groups. The commercial breakthrough of the genre came with the release of the Strokes' Is This It and the White Stripes' White Blood Cells, both in 2001. The genre reached a zenith in the middle of the decade with the success of Bloc Party, Arctic Monkeys, the Killers, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Over time, later indie and post-punk bands were criticized with the term "landfill indie".
