That is probably the most on target statement I have heard in a long time! My thoughts exactly! I actually broke out laughing in the middle of the room when I read that.

As for defining alternative: I would say that Alternative Rock and Indie Rock really together make up a larger subcategory of anyone who doesn't like to go with the typical flow of mainstream rock music. To me, acts such as Motion City Soundtrack, VHS or Beta, Boys Like Girls, Matt Costa, Jack Johnson, Ingrid Michaelson and others all represent something that is different than your typical Creed, Nickelback, Matchbox Twenty, and Foo Fighters type music which has the feel of being crafted specifically for the radio.

Opinions are like asses, everyone has one, and that's just mine.
