One genre is not necessarily better than the other. A lot of bands cross between the borders of both Pop and Alternative music (Alternative Rock).
Pop music has been around since the 50s and Alternative first formed in the 80s and gained popularity in the 90s.
I personally classify everything from the early 90s, Grunge, Britpop, etc. as Alternative.
Especially bands like The Cure, Live, Gin Blossoms, Smashing Pumpkins, and so on.
I personally don't like one particular genre better than the other, but I would listen to more Alternative music than I would Popular (pop music).
