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.
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 can love the city without loving its predominant music.
We met at the Ryman once didn’t we? What was the show?
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.

Every one of those bands is good.
Not all of those bands are alternative though. Grunge gets lumped in with alternative usually so once you separate the two I stop caring
All right not more we can do to save country at this point but I just wanted to say I’ve been singing along with this pop country banger in the car a lot lately. Imagine if “Jolene” had an answer song done by Mumford & Sons, except if Mumford & Sons was good.
Drinking cheap beer and listening to bluegrass y'all heathens. After driving through the entire state of north Carolina Raleigh and Spencer has gotten a few spins.
Country is great and bluegrass is better. Probably the east Tennessee influence, but I spent a ton of time sitting on porches drinking and smoking with my friends, pickin' guitars, fiddles, mandolins, and banjos
