Everything here is either Alternative, inspired/ inspired by Alternative, or share influences with Alternative, although; most of it is the music that finally killed the 80's, revived the 70's, and made the 90's so much fun, Grunge!
If asked I can directly connect almost all of these bands, except maybe 2 or 3. (Isn't incest great. ;p )
