When i was like 12 years old i started getting into music by listening to Heavy Metal songs. But after some years i started getting bored of it, so i started looking for other musical styles. Anyway, i was still a rocker teenager so, i wouldn't start listening to music somehow distant to rock music. That's how i came up with groups such as Incubus, King Crimson, Rage Against the Machine, Portishead, Tool, and Radiohead. They all showed me a whole new horizon of posibilities in music! One could say that the groups i've mentioned are very diferent between each other, and it's true. But they have something in common: the experimentation with new sounds. Tool is often tagged as "metal", and portishead as "trip-hop", but they also are grouped under the "Alternative rock" tag, and that's because they are very atipical in their musical styles: they have been always developing a search for their own sound, a unique one.
The alternative rock genre is often asociated to the 1980 and 1990 decade. It is caracterized by the use of some of the rock patterns and instruments (but not always), and the constant experimentation.
One of the groups that striked me the most is Radiohead. Until today i feel great admiration to their music.
