because that's the only good area of music today. everything else can do die
Excuse me, but that's inappropriate for school. |

OMG I LOVE ALT ROCK. but i dont think a lot of people realise that the following subgenres: gothic rock, dream pop, britpop, grunge, indie pop, indie rock, industrial rock, lo-fi, noise pop, noise rock, post-rock, post-punk revival, shoegazing and many more
all come back to alternative rock. theyre all subgenres of alternative rock. i wouldnt be surprised if you found someone saying 'i hate alt rock but i love indie pop' that wouldnt necessarily be true, if you think about it. |

It's a subgenre, and alt rock isn't the most popular...
One band does not simply make it popular. |

I said one of the biggest. One of. And you're forgetting the 1990s. We had Everclear, Nirvana, Bush, at least 100 more popular alt rock artists.

>It's picked up now, we're in a new decade..

first of all alt rock is a genre. second of all actually alternative rock is still very very very popular.
lets take a look at the charts
in the uk: AM by artic monkeys, indie rock, currently 18 in the charts but was once at number 1, platinum
halcyon by ellie goulding, indie pop/dream pop, currently 21 in the charts but was once at number 2, platinum
reflektor by arcade fire, indie rock, currently at 26 in the charts but was once at number 1
pure hero/in/e by lorde, indie pop/art pop/minimal, currently at 33 in the charts but was once at number 4
the 1975 self-title, indie rock, currently at 41 in the charts but was once at number 1
night visions by imagine dragons, indie/alt rock, currently at 50 in the charts but was once at number 2, gold
days are gone by haim, indie pop, currently at 68 in the charts but was once at number 1, silver
born to die by lana del rey, indie pop, currently at 80 in the charts but was once at number 1, 2x platinum
graffiti on the train by stereophonics, indie rock/alt rock, currently at 82 in the charts but was once at number 3, gold
so thats stuff thats still charting but stuff that did chart once
loud like love by placebo, alt rock, number 13
heartthrob by tegan and sara, indie pop, number 38
wolfs law by the joy formidable, alt rock/dream pop, number 41

I get the feeling that Jenti is one of those generally disliked newbags that tries to fit in by insulting everyone.
True or false? |
