Alernative Rock

Alternative rock is a broad genre of music, emerging in the 1980s as a counter-response to mainstream rock and featuring a variety of subgenres and influences. It's characterized by its diversity, rebellion, and willingness to experiment, often featuring guitar-driven music with strong influences from punk, college rock, and indie scenes. Alternative rock lyrics frequently address social issues and often explore themes of discontent and introspection, reflecting the social and economic strains of the time.
