That's why I added the punk edge part. How were they not? Listen to Nothing's Shocking and tell me there isn't some punk in there. The alternative aspect is a catchall for a band that was doing something generally different than what was coming out at the time - and they definitely were that.
They really influenced the grunge that was to come...and grunge is generally described as having a punk influence. Not that I would correlate Jane's Addiction in that way, but seriously...how was their music not influenced by punk.
