Alternative rock 

Alternative rock is a genre of music that emerged in the 1980s as an alternative to mainstream rock, often characterized by its non-conformist and experimental nature. One of the defining features of alternative rock is its ability to explore darker themes and emotions, offering a unique perspective on the human experience and introspective topics such as depression, anxiety, and existentialism. Artists within the genre often use their music as a platform to express their innermost thoughts and feelings, providing a cathartic experience for both themselves and their listeners.

Furthermore, the instrumentation and soundscapes in alternative rock often incorporate minor chords, dissonant harmonies, and haunting melodies. The music is often characterized by its raw and gritty sound, which adds to the overall atmospheric and moody nature of the genre.
