When did alt rock stop being cool

when did alt rock stop being cool

Depends on where you're from, but generally 1995.

2012

when you started listening to it

"alt rock" isn't a genre so it was never cool

shoegaze, indie rock, math rock, emo, they're still cool and relevant in the right circles

when this came out

What exactly is alt rock?

All rock music made after 1990.

An umbrella term for rock music that took elements from musically styles like Punk rock, heavy metal, funk, and folk music.

Spice Girls shaking their ass got better ratings on MTV

I was a true believer in alt rock, but also a 13 year old jacking off to MTV so i dont know how I feel about it all

It was never cool 80s rock was better

is that in rainbows era thom on the left?

"Billy Corgan smashing pumpkins"
"Homer Simpson smiling politely"
RIP good Simpsons episodes

God I hate people that say this. The 1980s were a worse version of everything you complain about amped up to 11 with none of the good

Virtually everything that came out of the 1980s was god awful and if The Scorpions came to fruition today you'd be calling them laughably bad and memeing them into oblivion

>it's a joke

i'm not sure, but i blame dave grohl.

pretty much just grunge and punk/pop-punk bands from the 90s

I blame grunge as a whole

It's becoming cool again, time to buy in before it crashes again.

When they separated

When you pass age of 17

>Sonic Youth
>Cypress Hill
>Smashing Pumpkins
re-watching that episode of the simpsons made me feel old as shit

Great answer.

when hiphop made a huge resurgence

This tbqh. I don't even like rap but you would have to be fucking blind not to realize that hip-hop is the new rock.

>punk-punk

except hip-hop has become fucking stagnant.

This.

70s rock was top tier.
