- What separates alternative rock from indie rock?
- Alternative names a musical departure from the mainstream and can describe major-label hits. Indie names independence in production and release posture, usually sounding rougher and smaller in scale. One describes method, the other identity.
- How do I describe loud-quiet-loud in a prompt?
- Write it as a section map: "verse on clean guitar and bass at low volume, chorus with the full band on heavy distortion, bridge dropping to near-silence before erupting." That explicit dynamic plan works far better than asking for "tension."
- Why do the chords sound slightly wrong?
- Because the style favors non-functional harmony — parallel major-chord motion, unexpected flattened degrees, resolution deliberately withheld. It is not an error but a manufactured sense of unfinished business. Prompt "harmony avoiding clear resolution, parallel chord movement."
