Swiss Alternative Rock is a genre of music that originated in Switzerland in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It is characterized by its heavy use of distorted guitars, driving rhythms, and often political lyrics. It is a mix of punk, metal, and alternative rock, and is often seen as a reaction to the more mainstream Swiss pop music of the time. Swiss Alternative Rock bands often draw influence from international acts such as Nirvana, Sonic Youth, and Fugazi.
