Alternative rock has its roots in punk rock, music originally not "mainstream". However, it has become a mainstream genre; a style that owes to punk, new wave, and post punk music.
Glam rock is a style that includes flashy, over the top fashions and music. The gay/camp aesthetic is predominant. Music has art pretensions; the performers often wear glitzy, shiny costumes, make up and hair.
Modern rock is also post-punk; it also includes more pop elements that might not be included in the "alternative rock" genre.
