what is a webring?

they've been described bar-crawl, or a conga-line. it's a network of websites connected ideologically, and then connected internet-ly via some code.
webrings are a rejection of search engines and an embrace of indie web development.
ypsilanti pop syndicate as webring has us all hold hands and involve ourselves in each other's art.
this webring in particular is intended for websites focused on projects in or documenting the pop underground.
