but i concur Alternative Rock was marketed virulently to the extent of being the equivalent of stadium rock in the 70s - what with loolapalooza and all

what i'm disagreeing with is that stuff like AIC you seem to profer the view has no musical merit in your original post

me, i'll gladly stick to Mudhoney, Tad, Melvins et all but i do like the potpourri of variety in the Alternative Rock genre (if there ever was a umbrella of this genre)

why should there a need for authenticity to enjoy stuff like AIC

they're certainly great at what they do and deserve their placing in this poll, even if I don't fully subscribe to them being any sort of innovative novel lynchpin of the zeitgeist of its time
