ok, when i siad indie/alt is dead i meant i rarely hear any "new" bands in that genre that i like or are doing anything interesting or different to whats already been done by bands i loved form the 90's/00s. I think you are right about the record companys, but hip hop an its sub genres seem so much more contempoary and relevant to me, and its the most popular genre in terms of streaming. In fact rock music still out sells hip hop as most young people dont buy records. Its older people that pay for downloads and buy music. Hip hop is the most listened to genre. You can just see by the numbers you see on youtube and spotify. Its a fact. Thats why i joined this forum so i could find some decent guitar music, as its quite hard to find. most of it is a watered down version of whats already been done. That band you recommended was really good and i bought a track of theirs on Itunes. Do you have any more cool bands to recommend?
