Music is an integral part of every person’s life. Without it, the world would simply not exist. One of the most popular trends in music today is alternative rock. He managed to combine into one whole the various styles of rock music that contrast themselves with the traditional. Back in the 80s, it was known about this grouping of the direction in music. Today, alternative rock is divided into two stages: the first and second. The latter is considered the most advanced, successful and popular. This term is most often heard in America, in fact, it was there that it was first applied.
Nowadays there are a lot of rock bands, and to whom to give preference is everyone's business. Performers are trying to surprise and please the audience with something new and unusual. Every day, young, newly created groups try to break into the world of show business. It is worth noting that foreign alternative rock appeared due to the famous “Liverpool Four”. Now they are considered a legend, and every musician tries to imitate their creativity. The most popular bands after them were Korn, Evanescence, Muse, Nirvana and Rammstein. They are famous and have worldwide fame even now. For example, the first of the presented groups was formed back in 1993 and became so popular thanks to its hit entitled “Remember Who You Are”. The second group was created three years after Korn and became known for his album “Fallen”.
Since then, alternative rock began to develop even faster. The groups experimented with directions, music and tried to create something extraordinary that could hit the audience. Thanks to such zeal and determination, each person can appreciate the versatility and feel the energy, drive and life in each of the works of rock music.
Alternative rock is divided into three regions: USA, Russia and Great Britain. In each of them it developed in its own way, and in the east it is generally called "alternative music". In America, this trend appeared in the 80s. Thanks to the groups that decided to combine punk rock, mainstream and folk music, this direction turned out. The greatest success at that time was with the REM group. It was believed that the best alternative rock was "produced" in the USA. But he appeared in Russia a little later, and the Oak Gaai group was a pioneer in this direction. They tried to play, combining styles such as trip hop and rapcore. The beginning of the development of this type of music is considered to be the 90s. As for the UK, alternative rock appeared there in the mid-1980s. The groups tried to combine indie pop with indie rock and they did it pretty well. The most popular at that time was The Smiths. At the same time, other performers tried themselves in this genre, and in fact there are a lot of representatives of this trend.
Each of the above countries has contributed to the development of alternative rock. That is why this musical subculture is so diverse, and its main representatives, distinguished by a bright personality, are so unlike each other.
