Pretty much agree with this (jwee's post). Once you get into rock, I just find it so hard to categorize. The lines are so thinly drawn. If someone/group has a "hit", some can no longer consider them alternative. After all the term was started to indicate that the music was an alternative to what was "popular". When what was alternative becomes popular it becomes necessary to to reclassify what was alternative. Thus that line will forever be a moving target. When I joined the site that was the one thing I didn't like was all the different types. Not complaining. I am getting used to it. I understand the need to do that. My taste is so varied, I just call it all music.
