Alternative rock emerged in the 1980s as a response to mainstream rock, embracing a more experimental, independent spirit. Rooted in punk and post-punk, it flourished in the 1990s with bands like Nirvana, R.E.M., Radiohead, and The Smashing Pumpkins leading the charge. Characterized by its genre-blending nature, alternative rock incorporates elements of grunge, indie, noise rock, and even folk or electronic music. Its appeal lies in raw emotion, lyrical depth, and a willingness to break conventional rules. More than a sound, alternative rock became a cultural movement that challenged norms and gave voice to a generation seeking authenticity.
