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.
Waylon Jennings was an american singer and musician famous for country music that died in 2002, exactly!
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! 
Awesome! Great chatting with you and learning about western music!
