This playlist is a deep dive into the melancholic, introspective realms of alternative rock, stitching together tracks from some of the genre's most iconic voices like Radiohead, The Smiths, The Cure, and Pixies, with a sprinkle of Duster's spacey vibes for good measure. It kicks off with classics like "Girlfriend in a Coma" by The Smiths and ventures through Radiohead's earnest "True Love Waits," blending in the energetically raw edges of tracks like "505" by Arctic Monkeys and "Sex on Fire" by Distorted Resonance. It's not just a nostalgia trip though; the inclusion of contemporary covers and lesser-known bands like Surf Curse and Roar ensures a fresh take on that quintessential '90s alternative sound. From the haunting allure of "Exit Music (For A Film)" to the fuzz-infused riffs of the Pixies' "Velouria," this playlist is an eclectic mix that perfectly captures the varying shades of alternative rock, making it ideal for those moments of solitary reflection or just a desire to explore the depths of this ever-evolving genre.
