Wikipedia defines alternative music
as:
A genre of rock music that emerged in the 1980s and became widely popular
in the 1990s. Alternative rock consists of various subgenres that have
emerged from the independent music scene since the 1980s, such as grunge,
Britpop, gothic rock, and indie pop. These genres are unified by their
collective debt to the style and/or ethos of punk rock, which laid
the groundwork for alternative music in the 1970s.[ At times alternative
rock has been used as a catch-all phrase for rock music from underground
artists in the 1980s, and all music descended from punk rock (including
punk itself, New Wave, and post-punk). |
