[quote=Anonymous]Previous poster - i think you are correct - alternative rock was an alternative to mainstream hard rock/metal/glam metal and pop music/top 40. A lot of the radio stations that played it were weaker stations/less corporate. I remember the emergence of the alternative rock format. A lot of the artists were either British New Wave/misc. UK artists or US artists who built a fan base in indie/college radio and college campus road trip touring. Boomers around me were more likely to keep listening to their 60s and 70s music stations while I, as an Xer, was listening to pop and alternative. It freaks me out to think that when I was a teen, Big Band music was as close to me in terms of decades as my early alternative rock is to today's youth. I think, though, that as rock has gotten older, there's more appreciation for having eclectic, decades spanning taste.[/quote]
