Alternative pop, Alt-pop, Or indie-pop, Is pop music that sounds like mainstream pop music (as it has broad appeal and draws from pop music) but is usually more unique and original. It's main goal is usually to be memorable and unique in order to "hook" (for lack of better words!) listeners in.
Alternative Pop/Rock is essentially a catch-all term for post-punk bands from the mid-'80s to the mid-'90s. Though there is a variety of musical styles within Alternative Rock, they are all tied together since they existed outside of the mainstream.
