What songs are in the 2020s Indie & Alternative quiz?

250 real records, drawn from the same catalogue the Guess The Song app uses, with Billie Eilish, Noah Kahan and YUNGBLUD among the artists you'll hear. We don't publish the track list: knowing it would be the answer key, and the point is to name the record from the music. The breakdown above shows the years and the difficulty spread instead.

Is the 2020s Indie & Alternative quiz free to play?

Yes, and there's no sign-up. Press play and a record starts. You can play as many rounds as you like here; the app adds ranked duels, friends rooms and pass-the-phone party games.

2020s Indie & Alternative Music Quiz

Bedroom pop, guitar records that broke on short video, and the alternative acts who became arena bands. Less uniform than the pop quiz for the same years, so the intros give more away. Indie & Alternative from the 2020s, narrowed to 250 records (2020–2026). Billie Eilish and Noah Kahan 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.
