🎸 ALT ROCK
The soundtrack of the 90s. From college radio to MTV, this is where alternative took over.
Alt rock surrounded the grunge takeover and outlasted it, becoming such a force in the ’90s that “alternative” hardly seemed like the right name anymore. It became the mainstream. I spent countless hours listening to Q102 and 94.5 The Edge, bouncing between alt rock anthems I still sing along to in the car today.
