Hi! I really like rock and alternative music!

Yeah those are both an example of western music! Western music is a form of music composed by those who settled in the united states and canada, though it is typically considered a form of country.

That's really cool! I was a teen during the 90's, and I think the alternative and grunge music scene originated with Nirvana in Seattle, Washington.

I don' t know if that would be considered western music, maybe modern western music since it did originate in washington state. Western music includes Mexican folk music.

Oh, I see what you're saying now. Country western music, like Waylon Jennings and Hank Williams.

That's awesome! Do you think bluegrass music is considered western music as well? I really like Ralph Stanley.

I would absolutely say that it is considered western music, since ralph stanley was known for his distinctive singing and banjo playing I would say it fits the bill!
