Modern Rock Music
Under many classifications the term "Modern Rock Music" is applied to all rock music produced from the 1980s to the present. For some the term "alternative rock" is interchangeable with "modern rock." Modern rock music generally combines musical styles from all over the rock spectrum. In some ways it's more diverse than other forms of rock because it has more history on which to build.
Punk rock and grunge may have started the modern rock movement, but groups like Oasis, Radiohead and others have stretched those boundaries in different directions over the years. Since neo-progressive rock bands like Spock's Beard and Pendragon also qualify as modern rock, there is some overlap.
