Alternative Pop

Also known as:
Wonky Pop

Overview Edit

Alternative Pop should be an oxymoron - by one reading, something that is 'alternative' can never also be 'pop', and vice versa. So what Alternative Pop really refers to is music which combines elements from alternative musics and pop, or music which is popular despite using alternative musical styles.

This could mean pop music which is inspired by alternative styles like punk, indie rock or electronica - for example Avril Lavigne, Busted or the Pet Shop Boys. It could also mean alternative music which has pop-like hooks: indie-pop like The Shins, power pop like Tegan & Sara, or dance-pop like Justice.
