Category: Alternative Music

Alternative music is a broad term used to describe a wide range of non-mainstream or non-commercial styles of music. It emerged in the 1980s as a response to the dominant mainstream music of the time, which was often seen as formulaic and lacking in artistic innovation.

Alternative music encompasses a diverse array of styles, including indie rock, grunge, punk rock, goth rock, post-punk, new wave, and many more. It is characterized by its independent spirit, its experimental approach to songwriting, and its rejection of the traditional commercial music industry.
