This type of drone was regarded as more [[Rockism and poptimism|"authentic" for rock music]]. It is exemplified mainly by [[The Pixies (band)|the Pixies]]' technique of contrasting a song's minimalist verses with loud guitar drones in the chorus.<ref name="Bannister" /> In the early 2010s, the term "New Melbourne Jangle" was coined to describe a proliferation of indie pop bands in [[Melbourne]], Australia, including [[Twerps (band)|Twerps]] and [[Dick Diver]]. These and other Australian groups were subsequently branded as "[[dolewave]]", jangly guitars being a defining characteristic.<ref>[[Everett True|True, Everett]] (28 March 2014).
