Manchester is a British indie rock sound that emerged from the city's post-punk scene in the 1980s, blending jangly guitars with dance rhythms and melancholic lyrics. The genre captured working-class youth culture through its fusion of alternative rock, psychedelia, and electronic influences. Its distinctive character combined introspective songwriting with an energetic, rebellious spirit that defined an era.
