 College rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
So named because it was primarily played on college radio stations, these bands combined the experimentation of post punk and new wave with a more melodic pop style and an underground sensibility.
By the 1990s, however, the genre had been supplanted by grunge, jam band and indie rock.
It is not necessarily a genre term, but there do exist some common aesthetics among college rock bands.

The Smiths were the definitive British indie rock band of the '80s, marking the end of synth-driven new wave and the beginning of the guitar rock that dominated English rock into the '90s.
By that time, the alternative and mainstream rock scenes had been heavily altered by grunge, which essentially left the band without an avenue for their records to be heard.
Marr was the rock traditionalist, looking like an elegant version of Keith Richards during the Smiths' heyday, and meticulously layering his guitar tracks in the studio.

The band has moved from alternative metal, full of mesmerizing synthesizer samples and sound effects, to a mainstream version of college rock, which concentrates on a straightforward sound of the traditional quartet formula -- bass, guitar, drums and vocals.

A blanket term that encompasses elements from both indie rock and alternative and nips at the heels of punk, the genre is basically defined by its position outside the conventional music industry rather than by any particular sound or aesthetic.
Their healthy interest in the down-tuned grooves of bands such as 311 sweetens the mix and proves this band can rock out at a moment?s notice.
The ultimate irony is that the quintessential '80s college-rock band, R.E.M., turned into one of the most successful rock acts of the late 20th century.

However, even though the number of students who could be taught how to read music and play an instrument would quadruple if schools had programs in rock music, no school board in its right mind would offer a program in rock.
