Template:AltRockCollab

The aim of this project is to standardize and improve articles related to alternative rock and its sub-genres, as well as to create missing articles. This project replaces WikiProject Indie music and expands its scope to cover both underground and mainstream components of alternative music. This project is not intended to cover all underground music, mainly that which developed after the advent of punk rock and has been termed "indie" or "alternative"; however, since such obscure topics might escape the notice of other editors or projects, they can be brought to the attention of participants of this Wikiproject on the Talk Page.

You can also help to improve the Alternative music collaboration of the week, an alternative music-related article selected by community consensus to be collaboratively improved over a week's time, ideally to elevate it to good or featured level status.

Please add tasks needing to be done in the appropriate section, and remove them accordingly when they are completed.

• Make sure that all alternative subgenres are listed on the Alternative rock page
• Make sure alternative bands are listed on the proper subgenre pages and categories.

• The proper name of Shoegazing/shoegaze/shoegazer needs to be determined.
• Hüsker Dü needs more inline citations.
• "Creep" needs citations.
