A: I do not consider Gotye alternative rock.
B: You chose bands that have shown experieence in much more than one style. Blink 182? That has the sustained notes and emotion I was talking about. You also forgot for a moment that they are more notable a PUNK BAND.
C: Systen of a Down also has that tone I keep talking about, the one with the sustained notes in the acoustic guitar? But you also forgot that System of a Down is a metal band that doesn't really take themselves seriously.
D: That Ween song is from an art rock album that also has heavy influence in psychedelia, so you should've probably chosen a better song as an example.
E: The guitar work is exactly what I'm talking about. I guess I should point out the raspy and deep guitars that are usually used for chorus/more energetic purposes in alternative.

However, this also proves what I said about genres being combined. That's why there are albums that get tagged with a lot of influences and genres: because they mix things together, ignoring some (but likely not most of) the rules in order to create a new sound that makes them unique.
