Description:In 1990 alternative music was where it belonged – underground. It left the business of rock stardom to rock stars.But by 1992 alternative rock had spawned a revolution in music and style that transformed youth culture and revived a moribund music industry.Five years later, alternative rock was over, leaving behind a handful of dead heroes, a few dozen masterpieces, and a lot more questions than answers. What, if anything, had the alternative revolution meant? And had it been possible – as so many of its heroes had insisted – for it to be both on MTV and under the radar? Had it used the machinery of corporate rock to destroy corporate rock?In Entertain Us!
