Swedish Alternative Rock is a genre of music that originated in Sweden in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It is characterized by its melodic, often melancholic sound, and its use of distorted guitars and synthesizers. It is heavily influenced by punk, post-punk, and new wave, and often incorporates elements of pop, indie rock, and electronica. Swedish Alternative Rock bands often have a strong emphasis on melody and atmosphere, and often feature female vocalists. Notable bands in this genre include The Cardigans, The Hives, The Sounds, and The Wannadies.
