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.

You wet my eyes
But I don't mind it
I tell you lies
But it's only sometimes
You pick a fight
And I'll define it
(I swear that I, I swear that I)
I only called her one time
Maybe it was two times?
Don't think it was three times
Can't be more than four times
Think we need to rewind
You text that boy sometimes
Must be more than three times
Didn't mean to two-time ya, two-time ya
She said that I, I should have liked it
I told her: I only use it sometimes
Except when I, I need reminding
I'm petrified
(I'm petrified)
But I only called her one time
Maybe it was two times?
Don't think it was three times
Didn't mean to two-time ya, two-time ya
You wet my eyes
But I don't mind it
I tell you lies
But it's only sometimes
You pick a fight
And I'll define it
(I swear that I, I swear that I)
I only called her one time
Maybe it was two times?
Don't think it was three times
Can't be more than four times
Think we need to rewind
You text that boy sometimes
Must be more than three times
Didn't mean to two-time ya, two-time ya
(One time ya, one time ya, one time ya
Two time ya, one, I only called her one time)
Ooh, two-time ya, two-time ya
(Oh one, one time, oh, two time, three time ya
One, one time, two time, three time ya)
I only called her one time
Maybe it was two times?
Don't think it was three times
Can't be more than four times
Think we need to rewind
You text that boy sometimes
Must be more than three times
Didn't mean to two-time ya, two-time ya
(One time, oh, one time, three time, four time
Three time, four time, two time, three time)
You're textin', oh, yeah
(One time, oh, one time, three time, four time
Three time, four time, two time, three time)
