2000s Indie & Alternative Music Quiz

The garage revival, the dance-punk that followed it, and the wave of British guitar bands in between. Opening riffs were the point of these records, and most are still recognisable from one. Indie & Alternative from the 2000s, narrowed to 360 records (2000–2009). My Chemical Romance and Arctic Monkeys are both in here. A tighter pool than either quiz on its own, which means the records repeat less and the ones you do not know stand out more.
