风格: Alternative rock

Alternative rock (also called alternative music, alt-rock, or simply alternative) is a category of rock music that emerged from the independent music underground of the 1970s and became widely popular in the 1990s. "Alternative" refers to the genre's distinction from mainstream or commercial rock or pop music. The term's original meaning was broader, referring to a generation of musicians unified by their collective debt to either the musical style or simply the independent, DIY ethos of punk rock, which in the late 1970s laid the groundwork for alternative music.

另类摇滚(也称为另类音乐、另类摇滚或简称为另类)是一种摇滚音乐,它从 1970 年代的独立地下音乐中出现,并在 1990 年代广为流行。 “另类”是指该流派与主流或商业摇滚或流行音乐的区别。 该术语的原始含义更广泛,指的是一代音乐家因他们对音乐风格或简单的独立、DIY 朋克摇滚精神的集体债务而团结在一起,而朋克摇滚在 1970 年代后期为另类音乐奠定了基础。
