So it’s been awhile since I posted new music that I’ve started listening to. Recently, I’ve become much more interested in alternative music and have been listening to 107.7 The End<\/a> a lot more. I never did really understand what the alternative genre encompasses. Is it just any song that doesn’t fit under any category? But typically punk rock and similar music gets place into this genre.<\/p>\n

Ah… I just looked it up on Wikipedia (Alternative rock<\/a>):<\/p>\n

Alternative rock<\/strong> (also called alternative music<\/strong>, alt-rock or simply alternative<\/strong>; known primarily in the UK as 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 1980s to describe punk rock-inspired bands<\/strong> on independent record labels that did not fit into the mainstream genres of the time. As a musical genre, alternative rock consists of various subgenres that have emerged from the independent music scene since the 1980s, such as grunge, Britpop, gothic rock, and indie pop<\/strong>. These genres are unified by their collective debt to the style and\/or ethos of punk, which laid the groundwork for alternative music in the 1970s.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Before when people asked me what music I enjoy, my usual reply would be any music besides rap and country. But now I think the top of my list would include soundtrack, trance, and alternative in no particular order.<\/p>\n

Anyway, here’s my new list of songs I enjoy:<\/p>\n
