Post-punk is probably under alternative rock too, and GBV was supposedly influenced by that movement. I am listening to bands like The Sound, The Chameleons and Wire. They all have a musical hook that I don't hear in GBV. I just find it boring and I don't think I can get over that.

Guided By Voices make great music. It might be that you need another listen or two. Or you're looking for people who have a more poppy sound and have hooks that are more evident.
