Before I registered on Last.fm I didn't know what I'm listening to. I can't distinguish music genres.

Now I can, but it's still an intuition. I discovered my leading genre - alternative.
I know what is alternative, what is not…mainly by auto-remembering the artist name.
Radiohead, Placebo, Muse, White Stripes, The Killers and many, many, many more.

But if someone asked me what the hell is alternative music, and why it is alternative I wouldn't be able to answer - because I don't know.

Recently I've found an article about this. Author is trying to explain why alternative is alternative, most of the time he's writing about the history.
Somehow, at that time music was completely different! Some genres can't be still the same!
For Polish, who want to read this article: "Krótkie wprowadzenie do muzyki alternatywnej"

Would you like to help to define alternative?
Without speaking a word 'bout any of artists.
