Indietronica, also known as electronic indie, indietronic, indietronics and lap-pop, is a music genre that combines indie rock and shoegaze with elements of electronic music styles such as IDM and glitch.

While the genre itself may be said to have been born in the late 1990s (for example with The Notwist's seminal album Shrink), a 2002 compilation titled Indietronica Vol. 1 by Sónar Music contributed to the popularity of the term.

Recently, the genre has been further expanded by several crossover projects between indietronica and alternative hip-hop artists, specifically between the Morr Music and Anticon labels.
