Rebellion with Riffs.
Alternative Rock was never supposed to be a genre — it was a resistance. A middle finger to polished pop, corporate greed, and conformity. From grunge’s raw honesty to punk’s pissed-off anthems, it was built by outcasts and poets who told the truth louder than the radio liked. Nirvana, Pearl Jam, The Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine — these weren’t just bands; they were mouthpieces for misfits who knew the system was rigged.
Yeah, it got co-opted in the end. Big labels started pumping out “safe rebellion” like it was a fashion trend. But the heart of it? Still beats in garages, dive bars, and busted headphones around the world.
Verdict: Born SphstRDnck.
When it’s honest, it’s truth with an amp. And we’re all about that.
