 | | Alternative music, as we know it today, has developed in a constant and uninterrupted manner for more than thirty years (from the late 60’s until today). |
 | | We don’t have before us, therefore, a music happening tied to the emotions of a particular historical period, such as is the case with war songs or songs of social protest, but instead, a form of expression, communication, promotion and, also, propaganda which has been consolidated in time. |
 | | Finally, the salient aspect of alternative music, that which in fact qualifies it as such and distinguishes it from any other type of music, be it pop, political, ethnic, folk or traditional, is that the spread of alternative music occurred outside the usual channels. |
