Alternative rock is
a sub-genre of rock which emerged in the 1980's. It is known as alternative
rock as it differs from the mainstream sounds, messages and attitudes of rock,
but however still caries enough of the characteristics to be classed as rock. The
term alternative rock covers grunge, gothic rock, jangle pop, noise pop, indie rock,
indie pop, industrial rock, pop rock, alternative hip
hop, and rap rock. The breakthrough of bands such as Nirvana brought light to
the style in the 1990's and 2000's allowing it to become more mainstream and its artists more
successful.
