美国独立流行音乐(American Indie Pop)最初并非一个独立的音乐场景,而是对当时美国其他主要地下音乐场景的一种例外。在美国,噪响流行( Jangle Pop)和Twee Pop同时存在,而学院摇滚(College Rock)则开始作为另类摇滚( Alternative Rock)的早期形态崭露头角。到了80年代末,独立摇滚(80's Indie Rock、 90's Indie Rock)在美国开始蓬勃发展,尤其是在西北部各州的场景(Pacific Northwest Indie Rock),随着 Grunge作为更具大众化的另类摇滚形态出现后更是如此。
美国独立流行减少了早期噪响吉他的使用,相较于Twee Pop,它拥有更清晰的结构和成熟度,并避免了另类摇滚和独立摇滚中普遍采用的摇滚乐( Rock)风格,转而以流行音乐(Pop)为基础探索地下音乐。与梦幻流行( Dream Pop)场景或更为沉闷的慢核(Slowcore)相比,它拥有更强的活力和更少的混响效果。它与英国的独立流行场景( UK Indie Pop)有着更多共通之处,后者始终更贴近该国本土文化。尽管独立民谣(Indie Folk)和90年代另类流行( 90's Alternative Pop)在90年代末占据主导地位,但21世纪初纽约市仍掀起了一波独立摇滚热潮,直至布鲁克林在十年末转向独立流行乐( Brooklyn Indie Scene),再次改变了音乐格局。进入2010年代,独立音乐与流行音乐的差异大幅缩小,最终独立摇滚成为少数派声音。
