Alright, I'm too drunk to read all that, so I'll just reiterate that alternative rock is an umbrella term in the same way that metal is. Stop trying to come up with a sound to define it. Just accept that it's the sound of underground rock that came after post-punk, and deal with the nebulousness of that without trying to pin down any kind of concrete definition.
