The general 'indie scene', if you want to call it that.
It's full of genre revivals, lyrics with the kind of meaning we've not seen in any artists in possibly decades, obscure use of instruments, interesting takes on things, the musicianship can be of high standard or as simple as a few strange chord shapes, so there's no real skill requirement to have a good 'indie' band... the vocals are usually also fairly distinct and catchy, etc.
Very melodic stuff, sometimes
