A category of music, mostly bands from the 80's to early 00's, now considered revolutionary and created permanent ripples that influenced new music.

These bands were often called alternative, indie, folk or underground in their time. Their styles of music quickly became so popular it was absorbed into modern mainstream rock, pop, etc.
"Spotify says you really like permanent wave? It means you probably listen to a lot of David Bowie, Nirvana, Oasis and other influential bands that remain popular."
