How is alternative rock different from hard rock?

Hard rock leans into anthemic arena-rock and blues-rock roots. Alt-rock comes from college-radio and grunge traditions — more introspective lyrics, less arena-rock polish. Specify which.

Can I get 90s alt-rock specifically?

Yes. Prompt "90s alt-rock, Pearl Jam-style, college-radio era, distorted-but-melodic guitars" and the AI delivers Lollapalooza-era character. Distinct from modern alt.

Is Britpop different from American alt-rock?

Yes. Britpop is the mid-90s UK alt-movement (Oasis, Blur, Pulp). American alt-rock leaned grungier and more introspective. Specify the regional variant for accuracy.

Best for indie-film scoring?
