The Music Scene is part of the Demoscene. It consists of people who write music in trackers. It started on the Commodore 64 with SID music used on videogame cracks. It spread to the Amiga and eventually to the P.C.. The music scene has seen tens of thousands of members come and go and has developed several styles of music unique to the genre. Many of these genres are a result of the technical limitations of tracking software. It is worthy to note that although trackers can be considered to have some technical limitations, it does not prevent a creative individual from producing music that is indiscernible from professionally-created music. The demoscene is a computer subculture that came to prominence during the rise of the 16/32-bit micros (the Atari ST and the Amiga), but demos first appeared during the 8-bit era on computers such as the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum. ...

Music is a driver of the "creative economy" that translates into millions of dollars annually for Austin.
While Austin's music heritage traces back to frontier days, it was not until 1991 that blues musician Lillian Standfield, returning from a gig in Houston, saw a city limits sign and thought the City needed a slogan to promote music.
A Council Member's suggestion that Austin should be the "Live Music Capital of the Universe" resulted in a classic political compromise and the "Live Music Capital of the World" became the City's official slogan by Council Resolution (JPG format) or Council Resolution (HTML format) on Aug. 29, 1991.
In popular music, indie music (from independent) is any of a number of genres, scenes, subcultures and stylistic and cultural attributes, characterised by perceived independence from commercial pop music and mainstream culture and an autonomous, do-it-yourself (DIY) approach.
Secondly, however pervasive any style of music (even one as broadly defined as "guitar pop" or "post-punk rock") may become at a particular time, it by definition cannot embody all of indie music, as, by indie's nature, there will be indie artists, labels and entire local scenes operating outside of this style and its definitions.
Music ranging from alternative rock to punk rock to experimental music has long existed in indie scenes, often independent from one another.
