Alternative Rock Band, Alt Rock Bands: Alternative rock (also called alternative music, college music or indie) is a genre of rock music that emerged in the 1980s and became widely popular in the 1990s. The term "alternative" was coined in the 80s to describe bands on independent record labels that did not fit into the mainstream genres of the time, and the explosion of alt rock bands was helped along by MTV and Lollapalooza, a festival of bands which helped expose and popularize alternative music groups. Though the genre is considered to be rock, some of its subgenres are influenced by folk music, reggae, electronic music and jazz. Alternative rock icons include Nirvana, The Feelies, Violent Femmes and R.E.M. Hire an Alternative Band for your festival, venue or event be searching at right.
