Most genre descriptions I can at least begin to get a handle on. I may struggle (mightily) to spot the difference between a hundred flavours of Heavy Metal, but I have some clue what Heavy Metal is, what Indie is, what Acid House is, and so on.

But what the blankety-blank is "Alternative Rock"?

The genre of Alternative Rock was defined by radio programmers in America to delineate between rock music made by post punk/new wave era- influenced bands and classic rock era -influenced rock music, which referred primarily to the era preceding punk and new wave.
