What genre of music does Nirvana, Linkin Park, Lighthouse, U2, Nickelback, etc fall under?
Alternative?[/DIV]
Nirvana was grunge. Although the term Grunge was a media made term to describe the early 90s Seattle rock movement. Interviews with Nirvana, they never referred to their music as grunge. Grunge was something that built up on a toilet rim. They referred their music as rock.
Linkin Park is just a NuMetal, or New rock.
U2, classic and new rock.
Nickelback and Creed seem to be the leaders of the post grunge world. I consider them plain ol rock.
Lighthouse I am not sure what they sing?
Everyone disses Chad Kroeger these days. As far as I can tell, they (Nickelback), are good ol Canadian boys, jeans and t-shirts, beers and guitars kind of guys.
