Anybody think Alternative has gotten stale.

I see where you're coming from. As to melodies/lyrics, there are still plenty of untaken possibilities, however almost all will have hints within that have the same vibe as something of another genre. But I've seen this with most songs, and some "similar pairs" were before '97.

Most likely the fact that new alternative musicians are a rarity means that only older bands remain, some of which are recycling older ideas, making a song from 2015 sound a little like their song from 94.

Alternative gave way to Pop Alternative with bands like Creed, Wallflower, Hoobastank, The Calling, Verve, Semisonic, Seether, My Chemical Romance, etc.
