Alt-country, short for alternative country, is a genre that blends traditional country music elements with influences from rock, punk, and folk. It often features raw, emotionally powerful lyrics and a more stripped-down, authentic sound compared to mainstream country. Alt-country artists typically embrace a DIY ethos and are known for their distinctive, genre-defying approaches. (AI Generated)
