Hawk Flying

Umbrella term for all of the punk and new wave shot rock music outside the mainstream to develop, parallel to associated subcultures. Includes a wide range of currents, including britpop, gothic, grunge, industrial, lo-fi, noise and post rock. Also new wave itself usually falls under this heading. As a counterpart to ' mainstream ' is alternative or indie (independent = independent) characterized by more artistic and substantive intentions, above commercial intentions and star status. That started with undergroundbands as The Velvet Underground, The Doors and The Stooges who in the sixties started their own, more personal interpretation to give to pop music. Via art rock and Pub rock erupted in 1977 punk and new wave. Not only the energy and street sense, but also the D.I.Y. (do it yourself) think.
