I went on YouTube to check them out and they don't sound alternative to me. Their music is more like classical rock, you know... like Bon Jovi?Originally Posted by big master
oh...wat are examples of alternative? try nan qien mama oh, n alan keh you lun he is the one who sang the theme song for mars n say yes enterprise
Hmm, I seriously can't really think or any. I prolly won't say they're alternative. More like not popular despite having one popular song (not even one hit wonder)..
Eg,
Wang Lan Yin - Er Zhuo Ju

Alterntive music is underground music that is generally darker, more artistic and often experimental. It's comparable to an indie movie; less mainstream as opposed to a Hollywood blockbuster, but some bands are popular despite their indie background. Instruments play a big role in the differentiation between alternative and pop/rock by the way they are played.Originally Posted by big master
I like alternative music because it is different and most alternative bands write their own lyrics which I respect a lot more than pop sensations that rely on others for their songs.
Here's a definition of alternative rock and here's a list of some alternative rock artists
Samples:
The Cure
Pulp
Electronic
Joy Division / New Order - Has anyone noticed that I love this band?
The only Chinese group that I can say is alternative that I know of is Tat Ming (Antony Wong Yiu Ming and Tats Lau). I collect old TVB theme songs and among my collection there's a theme song for the series Young Beat and although I have no idea who was Tat Ming, I immediately recognized that the music sounded different and reminded me of the bands I used to listen to in my teens.
oh...i c...i am not familiar w those bands...
gasp. someone else on spcnet who listens to pulp?!Originally Posted by Canuck21

Yup...Pulp is awesome. Then, you have acts like NIRVANA and GOO GOO DOLLS.
