Best 100 alternative pop releases

Alternative pop, also known as indie pop, is a subgenre of pop music that emerged in the 1980s and 1990s as an alternative to mainstream pop music. It is characterized by a DIY (do-it-yourself) aesthetic, with artists often recording and producing their own music. Alternative pop often incorporates elements of other genres such as rock, folk, and electronic music, and tends to emphasize songwriting and lyrical depth. Some of the key features of alternative pop include jangly guitars, catchy melodies, and an overall emphasis on a more introspective and personal style of songwriting.
