| | Alternative rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Most alternative bands were unified by their collective debt to the style and/or ethos of punk, which laid the groundwork for underground and alternative music in the 1970s. | | | Though the genre is considered to be rock, some of its genres were influenced by folk music, reggae, techno and jazz music among other genres. | | | At times it was used as catch-all phrase for rock music from underground artists in the 1980s and, ironically, mainstream rock music in general in the 1990s and 2000s. |

| | Alternative rock music is one type of music used by youths who desire to do this today. | | | Similar to Epstein and Epstein, they say that alternative music originated in the underground music of the 1960s and in punk rock during the 1970s. | | | Alternative music is used by contemporary youths as a symbol of the rejection of traditional capitalism and mainstream music. |

| | Alternative Music: Alternative Rock |
| | One of the recently glam-rock revivalists is the Alternative rock CD released last year by Conspiracy Music titled "Blockbuster" - a 70's glam-rock tribute album. | | | College rock's poppiest bands didn't fit into the mainstream the way new wave did, and where much early alternative/American underground rock was rooted in punk and hardcore, not all college rock necessarily was. | | | It was popularized in the late 1980s, the era of early alternative rock, when bands created emotional realism, and left the big hair and double gripped, head banging monster ballads at the door, making stand-out groups like R.E.M., combines heavy-metal guitars, folk and punk influences, and cryptic, introspective lyrics. |

| | Blogcritics.org: Sunday Morning Playlist: Alternative Rock |
| | I was really excited when alternative rock kicked in; in the 80's, I had to really hunt for good music, and I didn't listen to a lot of college radio or have cable, so FM radio was important. | | | It also represents the essential musical core of alternative rock; a blurring of the boundaries between punk and metal (unthinkable in the early 80's), hard-hitting garage rock three chord-isms, an angst-ridden slacker lyric, and a willful disregard for commercial notions of rock while retaining an undeniable catchiness. | | | However, alternative rock, despite being silly as a designation of anything, actually was a paradigm shift of monumental proportions in rock history; it truly represented a breaking point where Generation X's music gained formidable presence on the radio airwaves, breaking the stranglehold influence the Baby Boom held on radio programming. |

| | CyberStage 2.2: Alternative Rock |
| | In this way alternative rock can be seen as a reaction against '80s technopop, as bands began to put more acoustic instruments back into their sounds, swinging the pendulum away from musician-oriented technology and further towards consumer-oriented technology. | | | Yet alternative music, in spite of the implications of its own name, has also become a class of music that has come to define mainstream rock and pop of the '90s. | | | In the beginning, there was rock and roll, a rebellious new musical medium turning 1950s America and Britain on its side, and the teenagers saw that it was good. |

| | Technical and aggressive yet melodic and emotional, Strung Out has emerged from the grossly populated southern California music scene as one of the strongest and most creative melodic punk bands in the scene. | | | Strung Out formed in 1992 and instantly achieved recognition for their ability to creatively fuse punk, metal, and progressive rock. | | | This trio has owned the power-pop-punk scene since their big-label debut back in 1994. |

| | The restless, trouble-plagued outfit that helped break alternative rock into the mainstream with a potent fusion of punk 'n' funk in the '80s finds itself two decades on almost completely devoid of the former's energetic abandon, while the latter's effusive rhythms are considerably subdued over the course of this two-hour, 28-track collection. | | | Four-year career hiatuses followed by sprawling double-albums could spell trouble for a band of the Chili Peppers' stature: consider they'd originally recorded enough for three discs. | | | That ambition is matched with lyrics addressing everything from small-town narrow-mindedness ("Lubbock or Leave It") to the psychology of celebrity ("Everybody Knows"). |
