El género musical alternativo es una categoría amplia que engloba diversos estilos musicales que se destacan por su inclinación hacia sonidos y estilos distintos a los convencionales o comerciales en la música popular. En su mayoría, la música alternativa se asocia con la independencia y la experimentación, y a menudo se aleja de los estereotipos y cánones de la música mainstream.
El término "alternativo" ganó popularidad a mediados de los años 80 para describir a los artistas y bandas que operaban en los márgenes de la música rock y pop convencional. Algunos de los subgéneros que han surgido dentro de la música alternativa incluyen el grunge, el rock alternativo, el punk rock, el post-punk, el indie rock, el trip hop, el shoegaze, el dream pop, entre otros.
Frecuentemente, la música alternativa se caracteriza por su compromiso con las letras y la exploración de temas sociales y políticos, así como por el uso de instrumentos poco convencionales y la experimentación con sonidos y técnicas de producción. La música alternativa ha tenido un gran impacto en la cultura popular y ha sido una fuente de inspiración para numerosos artistas y movimientos culturales.

I see her online all the time
I'm trying not to stare down there
While she talks about her tough time
Girl of your dreams, you know what I mean
There's something 'bout her stare that makes you nervous
And you say things that you don't mean
Well, I found my hotel, I called up the twins
It's seven in the morning, so they won't let me in
I need to get back
I've gotta see the girl on the screen
(And then I spoke to her and she said)
Maybe I would like you better if you took off your clothes
I'm not playing with you, baby
I think that you should give it a go
She said: Maybe I would like you better if you took off your clothes
I wanna see, and stop thinking
If you're too shy, then let me
Too shy, then let me know
I've been wearing nothing every time I call you
And I'm starting to feel weird about it
Sometimes, it's better if you think about
This time, I think I'm gonna drink through it
Then I see her online, and I don't think that I should be calling
All the time, I just wanted a happy ending
And I pretend that I don't care about her stare
While she's giving me a tough time
Well, I found a motel, it looked like the bins
I think there'd been a murder, so we couldn't get in
I need to get back, I've gotta see the girl on the screen
Maybe I would like you better if you took off your clothes
I'm not playing with you, baby
I think that you should give it a go
She said: Maybe I would like you better if you took off your clothes
I wanna see, and stop thinking
If you're too shy, then let me
Too shy, then let me know (to shy, then let me know)
Well, if you're too shy, then let me me know (too shy, then let me know)
If you're too shy then let me go
Oh, yeah
I see her online all the time
She said: Maybe I would like you better if you took off your clothes
I'm not playing with you, baby
I think that you should give it a go
She said: Maybe I would like you better if you took off your clothes
I wanna see, and stop thinking
If you're too shy, then let me
Too shy, then let me know
