I think YOU are just giving alternative too broad of a term. That's like saying Metallica, Sublime, Def Leppard, STYX, and Stray Cats are all rock. Yeah, technically they are, but they're nowhere near all the same thing.
Maybe I misspoke- I mean to say ALTERNATIVE is a catch-all for many people that don't care to invest in naming Genres.
....
It's the same people who are into one of 5 categories of music (thus they only Name five)...
It is never the guy that is all- "Daniel check out this 3rd wave ska band I found..."
That guy knows what he means. And he says what he means.
...
As opposed to someone just blathering on about some Alternative Rock band that actually is some Norwegian Rapper born in Lao.
...
Meh I just looked at Wikipedia (cause that is a legit source
) and it fields Alternative rock as an umbrella term for independently signed bands-- With is what Indie bands used to be....
I've now confused myself.
