Alternative music first emerged in the mid-to-late 1980s with bands like The Cure, R.E.M., Radiohead, and Jane's Addiction incorporating genres like reggae, folk, electronic, punk, and grunge into rock music. These bands did not fit existing genres, so their sound was dubbed "alternative." In the 1990s, Nirvana's "Nevermind" helped popularize alternative rock. By the 21st century, many original alternative bands had broken up, and the meaning of "alternative" changed as the genre became mainstream. However, alternative music continues to evolve and discover new artists through festivals and independent labels.
