    Description

    Alternative rock emerged in the 1980s as a departure from the more mainstream sounds of the time. It combines elements of punk rock, post-punk, and new wave, and often features unconventional sounds, dissonance, and introspective lyrics. With its emphasis on non-commercial sounds, alternative rock songs are typically characterized by their raw emotional intensity and non-traditional song structures. This genre gained massive popularity in the 1990s with the rise of grunge and indie rock. Artists within this genre have the freedom to experiment with sounds, creating a diverse range of music, from atmospheric and moody to energetic and rebellious. Alternative rock also tends to address existential, social, and political themes in its lyrics.
