I just use "Alternative Rock" to codify American post-punk in the later 80's like Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr, Pixies, Husker Du, you know the list.
"Alternative" alone is just a term own by the mainstream to describe that which it doesn't see as apart of itself. Things that are classified "alternative" should never consider itself alternative, unless of course it wants to break into the mainstream scene with the "alternative lifestyle" dollar. It's a promotional label.
