I dug a lot of the indie-pop back then....No Doubt, Rage Against the Machine, Butthole Surfers, Green Day, and Alanis Morrisette all come to mind.
It wasn't serious music & wasn't meant to be, but there were some mean hooks in many of those tunes!
As a semi-pro musician, I can appreciate all sorts of composition - funk, disco, power pop, punk all had something going for them, or else they wouldn't have been so popular.

I saw them in 1995 in a club just when they were starting to really take off popularity-wise. They did a pretty kickin' version of "Obladi Oblada", and Gwen was jumping all over the place throughout the entire show. She had a ton of energy.

I would have loved to see them back then and prior.

Rage aint Indi pop though,
It all blurs together in my mind...I was shuttling back & forth between the USA and the UK, who were totally into the band Oasis during that time period! Bloody awful band, that!
I DID see the "riot grrrl" band Bis at the Cavern Club in Exeter, Devon UK about 1990, they were excellent! This was before their first CD came out, they went on to be HUGE in Japan!! "We're Bis, and we're from Scot-land!"
The bands I mentioned seemed to dominate the airwaves, there was no shortage of toe-tapping music! Was it brilliant instrumental prog? No, but I liked much of it.
Now, we have Justin "I wanna be black!" Bieber and Lady "Ow, I hurt myself and have to cancel my tour!" Gaga!
