the name
alternative
was coined in the 1980s to describe punk rock - inspired bands on independent record labels that didn' t fit into the mainstream genres of the time. [ 3 ] at times, alternative rock has been used as a catch - all phrase for rock music from underground artists in the 1980s and all music descended from punk rock (including punk itself, new wave, and post - punk). ironically, alternative became the general term for almost all rock music in the 1990s and 2000s, and took on a connotation that drastically differed from what it originally meant. thus, when referring to alternative, the connotation changes with respect to the time period .

this national scene influenced provincial bands as well. in the bicol region, the pinoy rock scene was carried by bands such as boardwork, bluestar, idiocy, and hellbent, to name a few. local rock concerts became the go - to school fund raising activities, such that there was a concert almost every week. with the explosion of the band scene, however, came hordes of wanna - bes who wanted a part of the action, albeit lacking in talent. the proliferation of bands with a dearth of talent eventually caused the loss of interest of the locals and as such, contributed to the fading out of the scene. source: urltoken
britpop faded as oasis' third album be here now received lackluster reviews and blur began to incorporate influences from american alternative rock. [ 30 ] at the same time, radiohead achieved critical acclaim with its 1997 album ok computer, which was a marked contrast with the traditionalism of britpop. radiohead, along with post - britpop groups like travis and coldplay, were major forces in british rock in the subsequent years. [ 31 ] recently british indie rock has experienced a resurgence, spurred in part by the success of the strokes. like modern american indie rock, many british indie bands such as franz ferdinand, the libertines, bloc party, and arctic monkeys draw influence from post - punk groups, such as joy division, wire, and gang of four .

alternative rock (also called alternative music [ 1 ] or simply alternative) is a branch of the rock music genre that became widely popular in the 1990s. it was a term that was liberally used to describe the bands involved in the early 1990s phenomenon of independently recorded music gaining profound commercial success. as a specific genre of music, alternative rock does not refer to one specific style of music, and numerous, diverse sub - genres fall under the umbrella of the
alternative
title. from various music scene locales, collectively known as the alternative music scene, genres such as grunge, indie rock, britpop, gothic rock, indie pop, and many others have developed. these genres are unified by their collective debt to punk; in the 1970s, punk' s style and / or ethos laid the groundwork for alternative music. [ 2 ] independent record labels were established during the punk era, which created an alternative outlet for musicians who did not coincide with major label agendas .

hahabul - habol .
eddie mesa, another teen idol from the period, became known as the
elvis presley of the philippines .

although the' 90s were more inclined to be about pop rock bands mentioned above, many filipino rock fans were ardent supporters of the more creative and independent filipino underground community. diverse not by name alone, these underground musicians were not easily attracted tomainstream pop sensibilities and grew their own market without the support of corrupt major labels that some critics and artists viewed as responsible for damaging most filipino music careers .
alternative' s mainstream prominence declined due to a number of events, notably the death of nirvana' s kurt cobain in 1994 and pearl jam' s lawsuit against concert venue promoter ticketmaster which in effect barred them from playing many major venues around the country. [ 25 ] a signifier of alternative rock' s declining popularity was the hiatus of the lollapalooza festival after an unsuccessful attempt to find a headliner in 1998; the hiatus would continue until 2003. by the start of the twenty - first century, many major alternative bands, including nirvana, the smashing pumpkins, soundgarden, alice in chains, rage against the machine, and hole had broken up or were on hiatus. meanwhile, indie rock diversified. along with the more conventional indie rock sounds of modest mouse, bright eyes, and death cab for cutie, various strains of indie rock, such as the garage rock revival of the white stripes and the strokes as well as the neo post - punk sounds of interpol and the killers, achieved mainstream success .
longer hair and relaxed clothing went with a more casual lifestyle. this pic is of an english rock band, the kinks. their hits included “you really got me” and “all day and all of the night”
and for the punk rock scene, there is a market for their music and releases in vinyl or cd or cassette abroad. indie distros sells records from outfits from all over southeast asia, north america, and europe. in fact, you can buy a lot of them over here. many of the shops that sell pinoy and foreign punk are located in manila from the streets of recto to unobtrusively located shops in san antonio village in makati. most though hawk their wares online with facebook pages serving as their web pages .
the most popular pinoy rock band in the philippines in the' 80s was arguably the dawn, whose early songs were largely influenced by new wave and post - punk, the dominant alternative music genres in the philippines during that period. the dawn came to prominence in 1986, when its independently released single

little monsters, the band' s first major - label album, was released in 2001 and contained songs from revenge plus new compositions by nicolas and jugueta. the song
antipara
was probably the most well - known song on the album. the release of the album was somewhat ill - timed as its glossy pop - rock sound was an aberration in the korn - influenced opm rock landscape of the late 1990s to early 2000s .
while
alternative
was simply an umbrella term for a diverse collection of underground rock bands, nirvana and similar groups gave it a reputation for being a distinct style of guitar - based rock that combined elements of punk and metal. many alternative artists rejected success, for it conflicted with the rebellious, diy (do it yourself) punk ethic and their ideas of artistic authenticity that the genre had espoused prior to mainstream exposure. [ 22 ] this is when the split in alternative rock had occurred; the genre that was once a single entity, had divided into a mainstream form (
alternative
) and an underground form (
indie
) .
