Post-alternative

Post-alternative (p-alt) is a music genre that combines elements of outlawed alternative music with legal genres, complying with Decree 1. It maintains prominent legality, but is known for pushing the boundaries of what constitutes alternative music, and currently possesses the highest number of subgenres across legal and non-legal music. For this reason, stylistic features of post-alternative are difficult to define conclusively, and is applied broadly to a large number of artists. The genre begun to take form after the Pzarty Deification of 2005 with releases from such bands as (blah) and (blah).

Pop-rock
There is much heated debate over the true classification of pop-rock. In early years following the Pzarty Deification, many former alternative artists used the famous loophole in Decree 1 to release pop-rock music which neared dangerously close to alternative. This is based on the argument that pop-rock is a subgenre of pop, rather than rock. However after the golden age of post-alternative, the legitimacy of this belonging begun to be called into question. (Blah) of (blah band) has stated "...we're a p-alt band. We play pop-rock, but we definitely belong to that family. The whole point is to push alternative boundaries, and that's exactly what we do. It's insulting to be categorised with pop artists."
