My musical interest are mostly in the traditional alternative category. late 70's-80's and early 90's. After Nirvana alternative took a downward slide. For sure there are great bands now but what is labeled as alternative today is generally garbage! Im into authetic country like Cash, Waylon, and Willie. Also I like stuff that is considered alt-country like Neko Case, Kelly Willis, and Sloane Jennings. I actually can tolerate some of the more modern pop country with the exception of Toby Keith and Shania Twain. Some hair-popmetal is ok. I'd rather hear Round and Round by Ratt than Lips of An Angel by Hinder anyday. Im really not an obsessive polka fan but I don't mind it.
