There are alternative bands that have those qualities, that yes. That doesn't mean it applies to every alternative album. Audioslave comes to mind as an alternative band with none of those three qualities you mention. Alternative is without a doubt the most ambiguous genre name because its only cohesive element is that it is not glam rock.
