An alternative rock/ hard rock band that uses hard rock, punk (a very few times hardcore punk)and some power pop elements. It originated as a solo project by Nirvana's drummer Dave Grohl.

Some sites consider them as being a "post-grunge" band, that is basically a term so inexactly as the "alternative rock "term, basically foo fighters just use less distortion and a less raw sound in most of their songs than the original grunge bands, but it still feells like the songs are about something important and meaningful.
Person A: I love Foo Fighters so much, they are the best band in the history of music¡they fucking rock!
Person B: They are just a bunch of overproduced radiofriendly pop-rock music crap.
Person C: Well they have some power pop influences and that's not bad at all cause a lot of classic rock bands have experimented with this sounds and some pioneers of rock also did in their time, and nobody is complaining about it like a little bitch.They are not the best band in the world but they had some energetic motivationally inspiring songs and some hard raw songs as well, so they are a very enjoyable band to listen if you give them the opportunity.
