'Alternative' has been stale since 97.

What do you see as alternative? When I think of alternative I think Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead and REM. Do you mean just acoustic singer-songwriters? Can you give us some examples?

Radiohead, REM and Red Hot Chili Peppers I like. I see alternative as an experimental mix of instruments in order to form a sound of angst and immersion. Those people are able to channel their experiences to create something new.

What I'm talking about is those with a common sound that fail to convey their experiences. Their cords are only slightly different and the sound feels familiar after you've taken a huge sample of them.

I don't know how to explain it better but that's what I've heard.
