Since Country is going to lose how about we just change the name to Jason Aldean. That's what I assume everyone is voting against right? The super brotastic modern country that's just hip hop for klansmen?

only thing im going to say is that our local alternative station played mostly dipshit-ass hunger-dunger-dang rock and occasionally Eminem for some reason

Coming up this hour, we've got the hot new track from Creed's upcoming album, "Jesus Hole." Plus, throwbacks from Staind, Silverchair, Everlast, Pearl Jam, and Sublime! But first, here's Eminem with "My Name Is"

Yeah I mean commercial Alternative stations play steaming hot garbage. Its Imagine Dragons, Twenty One Pilots, and 90s one hit wonders on repeat with some Pearl Jam sprinkled in.

everybody who likes "alternative" music should have a barbed wire tattoo on their bicep and at least one larry bird jersey
And I live in Nashville. Cut me some slack for not liking country. If you had to witness, downtown, the abomination that I have to just to get to the symphony or the Ryman, you would understand.

I've got a 14 hour country playlist I've been working hard all summer, and it has none of the red state fan fiction that's seemingly the reason everyone is gunning for it here. Awesome genre, it's going out way too early, especially with something as nebulous as Alternative still hanging around.
For the country haters, just remember two of rock’s most elite guitarists, Steve Howe and David Gilmore have major country influences. Most of Howe’s country is buried in his solo albums though The Clap is on The Yes Album. The Clap rules (not that clap). Gilmour has his spaced out between Pink Floyd and solo. Also Jimmy Page. So it’s not as monolithic as people make it out to be.

You get no slack. I remember a certain someone who got very upset anytime someone brought up these Lower Broad abominations in City Survivor.

I tend to think of alternative more in terms of the wave of guitar rock that came in the wake of grunge breaking, rather than what tends to get played on alternative radio today, which tends to align more with buttrock, as is being pointed out. But, then again, it also kind of catches stuff that both predates and is contemporary with grunge - The Cure, REM, the Pixies, Weezer, Smashing Pumpkins, the Breeders, Jane's Addiction, Sonic Youth, The Sugarcubes, Husker Du, Violent Femmes, Cranberries, Lemonheads, Juliana Hatfield, Liz Phair, Tori Amos, Afghan Whigs, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Gin Blossoms, Soul Asylum, etc., etc. And that's even leaving off most of the British bands of the '90s and very early aughts, who I guess we'd consider Britpop, and therefore under Pop?
Anyway. Lots of good alternative out there that isn't hunger dunger dang.
