    The Rise and Fall of Alternative Rock in the Nineties
    In 1990 alternative music was where it belonged - underground. It left the business of rock stardom to rock stars. But by 1992 alternative rock had spawned a revolution in music and style that transformed youth culture and revived a moribund music industry.<br/>Five years later, alternative rock was over, leaving behind a handful of dead heroes, a few dozen masterpieces, and a lot more questions than answers. What,<br/>if anything, had the alternative revolution meant? And had it been possible - as so many of its heroes had insisted - for it to be both on MTV and under the radar? Had it used the machinery of corporate rock to destroy corporate rock?<br/>In Entertain Us! Craig Schuftan takes you on a journey through the nineties - from Sonic Youth's 'Kool Thing' to Radiohead's 'Kid A', Nevermind to Odelay, Madchester to Nu - Metal, Lollapalooza to Woodstock '99 - narrated in the voices of the decade's most important artists. This is the story of alternative rock - the people who made it, the people who loved it, the industry that bought and sold it, and the culture that grew up in its wake - in the last decade of the twentieth century.<br/>
