2010s Indie & Alternative Music Quiz

Folk-pop stomps, synth-led revivals, and the indie records that turned out to be pop all along. Less production uniformity than the pop quiz for the same years, so the intros are more distinct and worth more. Indie & Alternative from the 2010s, narrowed to 30 records (2010–2019). Imagine Dragons and Billie Eilish are both in here. Imagine Dragons carries 8 of them, so expect to hear a lot of one act.
