I don't know if it's alternative but it sounds as if were:
Rob Zombie!!!
Does anyone of you know him? He's super great!

 

I tend to think of 'alternative' as a description of the sound, rather than the relative popularity of, a band.

My favourite alternative rock bands would be Sonic Youth, Pavement, Pixies, Guided By Voices, The Replacements, My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Galaxie 500, Jesus and Mary Chain stuff like this.

 

Then it would be all kinds of metal and other stuff

 

Voltaire takes me way back.

A lot of my favourite bands have already been mentioned, Jesus and Mary Chain, Slowdive, RATM, Alice in Chains... Also love Nine Inch Nails, Placebo, Smashing Pumpkins, Tool, a Perfect Circle, Katatonia, Opeth, Type O Negative, Paradise Lost, Rammstein, Korpiklaani, the Smiths, Cocteau Twins, Deftones, Massive Attack, Alcest, Dropkick Murphys, Soundgarden...

 

AHHH! Rob Zombie!!!!!! :love:

 

Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins...Basically a bunch of 90's alt rock.

 

I grew up listening to: Linkin Park, Incubus, Evanescence, Paramore, Three Days Grace, Nirvana, KoRn, Panic! At the Disco, Coldplay, and Metallica. :icon_bigg

I guess I'm somewhat goth.
I can't wear makeup, but I like to wear black clothes sometimes.

I used to dye my hair black, but my mom made me go back to my natural hair color. She said I looked like a 'freaky goth chick.' :lol:

My natural hair color is chestnut brown and it has a redish tint (especially when it's in the sunlight), so guess it still looks kinda cool...

 

Wow, you have a very good taste in music!!!!!
I love black clothes, too sometimes

 

Used to listen to Billy Talent and Nomy years ago.. not entire sure what you qualify as alternative but they might fit, some sort of rock

 

I love Fall Out Boy, Panic! at the Disco, Mariana's Trench, Mayday Parade, My Chemical Romance, Nirvana, Linkin Park...and probably a bunch of others that I can't think of right now :/

 

To name a few Radiohead, Incubus, Green Day, Snow Patrol, Our Lady Peace, Muse.

 

Thanks! :icon_bigg

 

A lot of 90s stuff, some more pop-rock and some more alt-rock.

Third Eye Blind (should be obvious from my username), Social Distortion, Gin Blossoms, Better than Ezra, Stone Temple Pilots, Candlebox, Our Lady Peace, Collective Soul, Live, Less Than Jake, Green Day (pre-American Idiot), Days of the New, Trapt, OAR, Buckcherry, Spin Doctors.

And a bunch of one-hit wonders and other obscure crap...hit me up for recommendations if you like. I'm happy to spread the gospel of 90s music!

Damn, I wish this didn't take up so much space!

Now if you excuse me, I'm late for my feel trip...

 

God, I looove Lithium soooo much!!!!!!

 

I wouldn't consider any of the bands mentioned alternative. They're mainstream.

 

*Giddy voice* I spy a fellow My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Pavement and Sonic Youth fan! You are one awesome human being

Apart from the ones I've already mentioned I also like: Dinosaur Jr, Sebadoh, Tame Impala, Mission of Burma and LSD and the Search for God.

 

Alternative Rock is a genre though, it's a description of how something sounds rather than of how 'mainstream' it is. You could call REM or Nirvana alternative rock despite them being huge bands, for example. I'm not sure if posting about the genre Alternative Rock was what the OP intended but still, I think using the term to describe how obscure music is is completely pointless.

Besides, several bands mentioned are definitely not 'mainstream' by any definition.

Haha, thanks. Yeah I listened to Dinosaur Jr after you posted about them in another thread and liked them a lot, might listen to some of the others you just mentioned, don't know any besides Tame Impala.

Galaxie 500 sound quite like Slowdive but I prefer them by a fair bit, so you might like.
