There is one debate about alternative music that has people choosing sides.  When did alternative music start?  There seems to be two main answers to this question with completely different points of view.

In honor of the much awaited new release of Green Day’s new cd  21st Century Breakdown, I would like to talk a little bit about this awesome band.  Now I know they are more punkish than most bands that fit under the alternative genre, but these guys are a big part of it as well. Just » Read More

It is crazy how many alternative bands were formed from bits and pieces of other bands.  Their former bands might have been completely successful, or complete garbage.  What’s even more surprising is how different the sounds can end up being from one “remade” group to another! Think about it, I’m sure you can think of a » Read More

Hello!  Before I get started on a little background info on myself concerning alternative music, there is something I need to get out of the way.   The alternative genre is such a broad spectrum that basically was created for sounds that didn’t fit any other category.  There are all sorts of mini groups within the term » Read More
