Alternative rock (also called alternative music, alt-rock or simply alternative) is a genre of Rock Music that emerged in the 1980s and became widely popular in the 1990s. Many alternative rock artists during the 1980s were cult acts that recorded on independent labels and received their exposure through college radio airplay and word-of-mouth. Alternative rock is essentially underground music that has emerged in the wake of punk rock since the mid-1980s. Throughout much of its history, alternative rock has been largely defined by its rejection of the commercialism of mainstream culture. Using a broad definition of the genre, Dave Thompson in his book "Alternative Rock" cites the formation of the Sex Pistols, the release the albums Horses by Patti Smith and Metal Machine Music by Lou Reed three key events that gave birth to alternative rock.
The New York Times in 1989 asserted that the genre is "guitar music first of all, with guitars that blast out power chords, pick out chiming riffs, buzz with fuzztone and squeal in feedback." More often than in other rock styles, alternative rock lyrics tend to address topics of social concern, such as drug use, depression, and environmentalism. Defining music as alternative is often difficult because of two often conflicting applications of the word. Alternative can describe music that challenges the status quo and that is "fiercely iconoclastic, anticommercial, and antimainstream," but the term is also used in the music industry to denote "the choices available to consumers via record stores, radio, Cable Television, and the internet."

A lot of punk rock recordings are recorded with up-tempo double time back beats. Many artist want to stick to this genuine 'feel' and will often record the band all together at once, instead of the more traditional track by track recording. (this is when each part is recorded separately and mixed together in post-production.) 'The Clash' & Elvis Costello are usually considered the pioneers of punk rock. Blink 182 was one of the most prominent modern punk bands up until a few years ago.

Principles of music theory usually refer to the theory of harmony. That in an of itself is a broad term for defining the entire music realm. The book by Arnold Schoenberg has been considered the authority on music, however, it is a dense and difficult book to digest. Most beginning students really need to learn the rules and so called principles of basic music in order to play. These rules involve the understanding of the music language notation with the use of the staff and notes and the counter part of rests. The six essential basic principles are the framework of notes, rhythm, key signatures, scales, chords and harmonic understanding. Each of these has their own principles and mathematical structure. You will need to study each and it can take 1 to 5 years to cover them sufficient detail to be proficient.
