Is there an active community in the Lemmy / PieFed-connected Fediverse devoted to Indie and Alt-pop?

This is one of my favorite musical and creative genres across my life, but I'm having trouble finding an example across the FV that I can access. Anybody know if there is such a community?

To ramble on-- it just crushes me that *SO* much friggen' awesome & original song content appears across these two major niches, yet on radio and everywhere (it seems to me) we just hear the same old dumbed-down, formulaic bullshit. Me? Even as a cynical old man, I have absolute love for young peoples' creativity upon such things. And there really ARE such crushingly fun / excellent tunes out there to enjoy. Couple examples:

John Cale - How We See The Light:

Tessa Violet - Nancy Sinatra:

Vendredi sur Mer (Charline Mignot) - Écoute chérie:

To me, these are brilliant, young* creators absolutely kicking booty, and yet we barely hear of them. Why is that...?

\* Haha, John, you're still young to ME!

**EDIT** : Ehhh... couple more I'll post in the comments. What think, amigos..?
