Research into the Rock Genre
The document discusses several rock music genres including hard rock, heavy rock, alternative rock, and post-grunge. Hard rock originated in the 1960s and incorporates distorted electric guitars, aggressive vocals, and heavy use of drums and bass. Alternative rock emerged from indie music in the 1980s and gained widespread popularity in the 1990s, known for its distinctive guitar sounds and lyrics addressing social issues. Post-grunge is a derivative of grunge and alternative rock that became commercially successful in the late 1990s, featuring thicker distorted guitars but in a more radio-friendly style.
Alternative music
Alternative rock emerged from independent music in the 1980s and gained widespread popularity in the 1990s. It originally referred to artists unified by their debt to punk rock's musical style and DIY ethic. Alternative rock encompasses many styles that became more prominent in the late 1980s, including gothic rock, jangle pop, and shoegazing. While many alternative bands had some success, it was the breakthrough of Nirvana and rise of grunge and Britpop in the 1990s that brought alternative rock into the mainstream.

Key musical features of indie rock include jangly guitars, introspective lyrics, and simple chord progressions.

Queens of the Stone Age fact file
- 1. Queens of the Stone Age Members: Founder, Josh Homme has been the only constant member as the others change often. Josh Homme is 45 and founded the band in 1996 during the desert-rock prime. He has been their lead singer/guitarist frontman for the last 20 years. They’re a very large part of the Desert-Rock genre, however are known to write/play music of variable genre often with a harder metal sound. They have a very grungy style, though sometimes dip into a more electronic sound with a focus on eerie tone. They’ve been signed to seven different record labels but are currently independent. They began to get produced when Josh Homme’s former band, Kyuss, split up and developed into the less chaotic rock band Qotsa. Josh Homme had been part of several bands before forming Qotsa and worked with famous rock/metal artists such as Dave Grohl. He became more famous when Nirvana brought grunge/rock to the mass audiences. Their target audience is very ambiguous as it has changed throughout the bands 22 year existence, primarily being local adolescents in the Californian desert rock scene, yet has now developed into something less categorical as instead of aiming for commercial success the band focus on artistic endeavour. They’ve received several awards from popular rock/metal magazines such as MTV, Kerrang and NME.
