Some people has some misconception about the genre "alternative".. How do you understand it?

[thinkpad]

I'm thinking it was an "alternative" to the usual rock and roll music of the late 80's and early ninties. when everybody playing music had long hair and long guitar riffs... hehehe..

as what our humanities instructor said, alternative music is the sub category of rock. its the alternative to the usual contemporary rock. hehehehe

[zengatsu]

from the word itself..'alternative'..meaning a substitute to the usual rock genre during the late 70s and the 80s

At last... naa jud intawn kaila! hehehehe... well for those who dont... Alternative is like an umbrella... daghan ang naa sa ilawm ana... like when you say punk, pop, grunge... ug daghan pa! so when asked "unsa imo tirada... ayaw sulti ug alternative" and also you must know your music.... pareha ra na sa mosulti ka ug "indie", "new wave"... dli jud na sila genre pwera gaba!

but the sad thing is that people don't really care the genre thier listening to. unless this thread gets to be posted in every forum in the entire world (it's not even enough) there will still be name-dropping happening when the next some body asks another body the same question.
