Fun:Alternative rock

Alternative rock is a name created by the music industry to describe the whiny, non-blues influenced music made mostly by white boys since Rap has become the ascendant modern popular music form. This way, the white man can still pretend to greatness, in spite of most of the creative direction in music these days coming from the Hood.

In spite of its pathetic background, some alternative artists do achieve worthwhile results. I just can't think of any right now.
