Alternative Rock is a genre of rock 'n roll that was developed during the 80's, but became popular in the 90's. Much of Alt-Rock has been influenced by the Punk music of the late 70's, but not all Alternative rock falls under Punk Music, nor does much Punk fall under Alternative.
Music usually influenced by punk, grudge, goth, indie, as well as classic rock. Sometimes called Modern Rock. The very early and very heavily umfluenced are the only I would call post-grunge, such as: Stone Temple Pilots, Bush, Candlebox. Alternative Rock has become the most played music on modern rock stations and has in the last about 20 years has essentially with few exeptions has taken over the world of rock as it was once known.
Like it or not it's all over the radio, and all over the stores. A musical genre that is basically a "grab-bag" of very different styles of Rock that because very popular in the mid's. The genre is totally useless. If you're going to put shit like Nickleback or post 80's Metallica into the same genre with great bands like Tool or Fuel, then why even bother catagorizing in the first place? Mike: So what kinda' music do you like? Fred: Mostly alternative rock stuff.
Mike: Oh, cool. They are pushing boundaries. You have your alternative indie, punk, indie hip hop, alt rock, alternative rock, indie dance, etc. Take alternative rock for example, it is basically alternative rock plus alternative country, alternative country plus alternative folk, alternative folk plus folk rock, etc.
You could look at alternative country as an alternative to alternative rock, and alternative folk as an alternative to alternative folk. There have been many rock songs that have had a positive influence on alternative music.
However, I do believe that most of them should not be called alternative music. Just because I liked the song R. Alternative music is a genre of music that describes the artists that are doing something different, and the artists that are trying to push the boundaries of what is thought of as music.
I am sure that you are not a fan of the name alternative music. However, if you try to tell me that alternative music is a new genre of music then I will respectfully ask you to explain why there is no genre of music that describe the bands or artists that write, play, and sing Alternative music.

Although Nirvana may not fit the definition of alternative rock, it's certainly rock in the sense that their music is primarily instrumental. They use keyboards, drums, and guitar. Their music has a sound that is distinctly "rock.
They're important in the history of alternative rock, because they are the "first true grunge" band. Nirvana is important to the rise of the genre. They popularized it and helped lead a group of like-minded musicians. Many of the bands discussed in this article have experienced major success with their own respective bands. When we hear their music, we think of them as alternative.
However, most of these bands have experienced varying degrees of mainstream success. Some are huge, some are not. That's because alternative rock is a large genre of music. Any group of artists can participate in it and not be excluded from the mainstream because of it.
Bands such as Pearl Jam and Weezer are in the upper echelon of popularity in mainstream rock, but that doesn't mean they are in the alternative rock genre. Pearl Jam was an incredible band and one of the most significant alternative rock bands of the past 20 years. However, they have gained success with their commercially successful work, which is not what I'm referring to when I say alternative rock.
Many, if not most of the bands I'm highlighting are in the alternative rock genre, but there are certain elements that transcend the boundaries of the sub-genre. The first is the instrumentation. Alternative bands like Nirvana used more instruments than other bands in the sub-genre did. Their music is more complex, and even though Nirvana doesn't play instruments, they still create complex, detailed music.
Other bands in the alternative rock genre, including Smashing Pumpkins and Pearl Jam, tend to use a greater variety of instruments in their music than the average band.
