Description
Alternative rock emerged in the 1980s as a guitar-driven genre that rejected mainstream rock conventions while embracing experimental sounds and introspective lyrics. The music blends punk's raw energy with diverse influences ranging from indie pop to grunge and electronic elements. It became a cultural force in the 1990s, offering a more authentic and artistically ambitious approach to rock music.
