What is it?

Alternative Rock is a genre that is an umbrella term for many sub genres. For a long time indie was an interchangeable name for this genre, because it emerged from the independent music scene of the 80's and 90's. Alternative is usually differed from mainstream rock by the distorted guitar and sometimes controversial lyrics that are presented in a very nonchalant way. 
       There are many sub genres, but I am only going to talk about a few. Which are: grunge, Britpop, post-grunge and post-Britpop. The sub genres definitely differ and are easily distinguished.
