I've been reiterating myself because you keep dismissing the only point I've been trying to make this whole time: alternative is an umbrella term that encompasses such a vast variety of music that there is no cohesive sound.

Quote:
1. People lioke music.
2. Most people like a scene or genre because of a sound.
3. People who label something a genre usually do it based off sound, at least the pheasants do.
"What genre is RHCP? Alternative? Cool, I like alternative."

"What genre is RHCP? Alternative? Bleh, alternative sucks."

Quote:
So why would alternative be differnet? What's so hard to comprehend? The only thing that makes it vague are the origins of the term and the genre.
Because this is alternative


And so is this


This is too


And this


And this is also alternative


There is nothing that suggests these are all in the same genre, but what do you know? They somehow are.

I'm going to reiterate my point just for a laugh. The only thing that unifies alternative music is what it is not. That is why it is called alternative. I look forward to hearing you shout with your head in the sand.
