| | Alternative rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Most alternative bands were unified by their collective debt to punk, which laid the groundwork for underground and alternative music in the 1970s. | | | At times it was used as catch-all phrase for rock music from underground artists in the 1980s and rock music in general in the 1990s and 2000s. | | | 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. |

| | Alternative Mainstream? - By Rick Moldovanyi |
| | "Alternative music is a mix of other genres of music, but that is still essentially rock," she adds, displaying the glaring difference in definitions of alternative music that exist amongst music fans. | | | While new rock can become mainstream and still be new rock (at least until a newer form of rock appears) alternative loses its title as soon as it is not the alternative to conventional popular music, but the conventional popular music itself. | | | New rock music's tendency to constantly change what is popular has caused many to label it as pop music. |

| | Alternative Music: Alternative Music |
| | 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. | | | It shouldn't be left unsaid the College Rock, essentially the (largely) alternative music that dominated college radio playlists from the rise of alternative rock (circa 1983-84) through the '80s. |

| | The band that best represents the "proto-alternative rock" sound was Hüsker Dü. | | | Hüsker Dü proved that moving to a major record label could be done without compromising their music and credibility. | | | By 1988, Hüsker Dü broke up due to internal tensions within the band and the suicide of their manager, but by then a new music scene rooted in the influences of 80's indie rock had already begun to emerge. |

| | In accordance with that mission, the rest of the lineup was filled out with a very narrow musical worldview: if you didn't make music predominantly based on guitars, you probably weren't welcome. | | | Sure, the whole thing was like an interactive display of When Alternative Rock Ruled the Earth, but hey, I remember those days! | | | With a half-dozen free vodka drinks in my stomach, a cool wind coming off the lake, and a giant light-up W blurring my vision, "The Sweater Song" sounded pretty damn good. |
