How has technology influenced alternative rock music?
Technology has affected alternative rock music like it has any other genre: it allows artists to create, edit and produce music from their own computer.
Because technology is so easily accessible, it also made it easier for bands to produce music on their own instead of relying on mainstream labels - creating an increase in independent (or "indie") bands. The increase in small and indie bands has created a wider variety of subgenres underneath alternative rock and a multitude of different sounds and styles.
Logically, technology has increased the specific sounds and effects present in songs. Mixing different songs, overlapping recordings, and other general actions involved in the music-making process are easier to access for artists and studios.
Thanks to technology, a lot of songs that would be considered old, such as the Pixies, have been remastered and the sound quality increased.

I would consider the Gorillaz to be a unique band, and it seems like nobody has tried to copy them. So, there are no similar songs like it.

What are the basic rules of making alternative rock music?
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."
