Post-punk revival (also known as indie rock revival) is a genre or movement of indie rock that emerged in the early 2000s as musicians started to play a stripped down and back-to-basics version of guitar rock inspired by the original sounds and aesthetics of post-punk, new wave and garage rock. It is closely associated with new wave revival and garage rock revival.

The genre has an emphasis on "rock authenticity" that was seen as a reaction to the commercialism of MTV-oriented nu metal, hip hop and "bland" post-Britpop groups. The commercial breakthrough of the genre came with the release of the Strokes' Is This It in 2001. The genre reached a zenith in the middle of the decade with the success of Bloc Party, Arctic Monkeys and the Killers. Over time, later indie and post-punk bands were criticized with the term "landfill indie".
