Over-confidence? So, what's so over confident about a guy who has a set sound for alternative music? Basically, I think it's a pop-rock based genre with influence from post-punk, punk, andf folk rock. Alternative's lyircs usually follow social concern. Pixies followed some of the alternative rock rules, but they largely influenced indie rock, which is a far morwe debatable term.
Basically, having an idea of a sound for a genre just means I can tag it easier. A genre tag is a shorter term used to describe music that has something special about it. So what's more pretentious? The genre term, or trying explain the sound without it? I'm sorry if genre tags annoy some people here, but this is a music forum. And alternative is one of the leading brands of music out there, and there is a reason other than the original "underground" status that alternative is so popular: becuase of the sound. I'll explain a spound with whatever method I use, and it's not a part of any form of pretentiousness.
