Alternative Rock

Alternative rock (also called alternative music, alt-rock or simply alternative) is a
genre of rock music that emerged from the independent music underground of the 1980s and
became widely popular by the 1990s. The "alternative" definition refers to the genre's
distinction from mainstream rock music, expressed primarily in a distorted guitar sound,
subversive and/or transgressive lyrics and generally a nonchalant, defiant attitude. The
term's original meaning was broader, referring to a generation of musicians unified by
their collective debt to either the musical style, or simply the independent, D.I.Y. ethos
of punk rock, which in the late 1970s laid the groundwork for alternative music. At
times, "alternative" has been used as a catch-all description for music from underground
rock artists that receives mainstream recognition, or for any music, whether rock or not,
that is seen to be descended from punk rock (including some examples of punk itself, as
well as new wave, and post-punk).
