Alternative Rock
Alternative rock (also known as alternative music, alt-rock or simply alternative) is a category of rock music that evolved from the independent music underground of the 1970s. Alternative rock acts achieved mainstream success in the 1990s with the likes of the grunge subgenre in the United States, and the Britpop and shoegaze subgenres in the United Kingdom and Ireland. During this period, many record labels were looking for "alternatives", as many Arena rock, corporate rock, hard rock, and glam metal acts from the 1980s were beginning to grow stale throughout the music industry. The emergence of Generation X as a Culture, cultural force in the 1990s also contributed greatly to the rise of alternative music. "Alternative" refers to the genre's distinction from mainstream or arena rock, commercial rock or pop. The term's original meaning was broader, referring to musicians influenced by the musical style or independent, DIY ethic, DIY ethos of late-1970s punk rock.di Perna, A ...

Parasite (song)
"Parasite" is a song by American rock band Kiss, released in 1974 on their second studio album, '' Hotter Than Hell''. As one of the album's heaviest songs, it was performed on the following tour, but dropped from the band's setlist on the Destroyer Tour and not played again until the Revenge Tour in 1992. Composition "Parasite" is one of three songwriting contributions from Ace Frehley on the album, the others being "Strange Ways" and "Comin’ Home." He was insecure about his singing ability, so passed that duty to Gene Simmons. Known for its simple but heavily distorted repeated broken chord riff, the song is a departure from the band's glam rock style. ''Loudwire'' writer Eduardo Rivadavia opined the song displayed "blue-collar, dare we say proto-punk, greatness," while ''Spectrum Culture'' journalist Will Pinfold called it a "proto-metal/grunge masterpiece" with a hint of groove in its fast-but-imprecise riffing.
