Organic Or Synthetic

In the Alternative Rock genre the acts
tend to be organic in the way that they
go about their career.

Alternative rock bands tend to certain
characteristics typical of organic acts
which include things such as writing a
majority of their own material with
minimal help from writers.

They also seem to have more
emphasis on a album sales as a
whole than individual song sales
than synthetic artists.

They also naturalistic in that they play
their own instruments live and when
they produce their music.

During the career of the acts they aim
for a long term goal of making
profits. e.g. Rock bands such as Foo
Fighters and  Arctic Monkeys have
careers that spans for 10+ years.
