Modern rock

Modern rock is an umbrella term used to describe rock music that is found on college and commercial rock radio stations. Some radio stations use this term to distinguish themselves from classic rock, which is based in 1960s–1980s rock music.

For the music genre associated with this format, see Alternative rock. For the album by The Clean, see Modern Rock (album). For the Billboard chart formerly known as Modern Rock Tracks, see Alternative Songs. For current rock music, see Rock music § Mainstream decline (2010s–present).
