Something has taken hold of the alternative genre!

And boy is it delightful...

   

 

I have been attempting to triangulate the origin of this alternative-altering phenomenon and lay down some credit where it is due. The problem is the musical lineage vectors keep cutting out, creating a musical history-map riddled with holes.

 Actually, it's just that I haven’t looked very hard. But...

I think it may have to do with the sudden evolution and influence of electronic music. This genre has recently grown faster than a Chia Pet and split in more directions than the primavera ballerina at the Russian Ballet. The truth is that synthesizers, or whatever is used today- (computers maybe?) can add a euphoric element to a song that few other instruments can compete with. This is only one of the elements shaping the genre; however, it’s my personal favorite.

-Feel the air coming out of your speakers. Feels cool right?

Here is a fun fact- The air flowing through your speaker is filtered specifically to carry the unique sound waves of each song. What? You don’t believe me? Then put on this last youtube track, put your face up to the speaker, feel the breeze on your skin, and inhale deeply.

Warning: Only do this if you have nowhere to be for the next four hours. 

Trouble Shooting: If you can't feel the air coming out of your speakers you either need to turn up your volume, or upgrade speakers immediately. 

PS: All these songs are lacking my favorite component in alternative music. Can you guess what?
