Alternative Genre

The alternative genre is split into 5 different categories
- Alternative rock

- Alternative dance
- Alternative metal
- Alternative hip-hop
-Alternative country

The category that our chosen song fits into is Alternative Rock.
Alternative rock is a genre of rock music that came to light in the independent music underground of the 1980s and became very popular in the 1990s. Alternative rock is a broad term that consists of music that differes in sound, its social aspect and regional roots. Towards the end of the 1980's, magazines, airplay, and people talking about the alternative genre, alternative rock became highly recognised. Some bands and song that are an example of Alternative Rock are:
Muse, Linkin Park, The Black Keys, Ok Go, The Killers, Coldplay, Gorillaz

Overall, the genre of the music is something that I feel as a group we work with as there are a lot of ideas that could represent the genre because of how broad it is. After looking at different music promos that are apart of the genre, the overall feeling is of fun and having a good time. This is good because Dancegrenade are a group of fun lads that are always up for a good time which means us as a group will enjoy filming this music promos.
