Iranian alternative rock is a subgenre of Iranian rock.[1] This style was inspired by the alternative rock works of American musicians. This style was formed at the end of Iran-Iraq war in Tehran to defuse the pressure of war.[2]
History
After the Iranian Revolution, rock music became illegal.[3] After Iran-Iraq War, the youth needed some music to protest.[4] In the following years, groups such as Kiosk,[5] Ahoora and O-Hum[6] provided important effects in this style. "Jurassic Park Coalition" is the best-known alternative rock Iranian song released by Kiosk Group.[7] Alternative rock music is not yet recognized in Iran, so the groups that work in this genre continue to operate underground.[4] [8]
