Alternative Rock
« on: August 02, 2004, 04:39:44 am »
Now, I consider myself a somewhat musical guy, but I have a sort of embarressing question:

Whats alternative rock?

I see so many references to \"alternative rock\". Well, what is it and what makes it so alternative? How is it different as compared to just \"rock\"?

Is pretty much a catch all term for bands that arent like mainstream music. It spans quite a few genres - Indy, punk, grunge, industrial, hardcore and goth rock.

And what would mainstream music be? Because most of the music that seems mainstream right now is considered \"alternative rock\" :P

I think the \"alternative rock\" movement was distinguished from \"classic rock\" as well as some of the pop music of the eighties.  When alternative became mainstream, the name stuck.
