What's playing at your favorite Bay Area music venue? Likely, some form of 'indie' music. The Chronicle analyzed more than 4,500 concerts that took place in the Bay Area since the start of 2020 to determine the common genres played at 27 popular music venues in San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley. The five most common genres were 'indie pop,' 'indie rock,' 'pop,' 'modern rock,' and 'indie folk,' according to the music streamer Spotify's classification system. While the top spots went to familiar genres, things quickly got more interesting.
