Which is not mainstream.

Alternative music is music that doesn’t follow conventional structures and sounds. A lot of artists get labeled as “alternative” without making alternative music at all. Lorde, Lana and Marina are often seen as the modern holy trinity of alt female artists but none of them make actually alternative music — Lorde barely scraps the surface, but that’s it. Lana makes folk music influenced by Americana, Born to Die is literally pop influenced by hiphop. Marina has always made pop music. 

 

FKA Twigs is a great example of alternative musician. So is Arca. I’d say Rosalia too, especially her first two records. 

Carrie & Lowell by Sufjan Stevens 

Punisher

AURORA - Infections Of A Different Kind Step 1

Homogenic, Vespertine, Vulnicura by Björk, also Magdalene by FKA twigs
