Not sure if Everyone else regards them alternative but anyone else listen to the new All American Rejects album I think Somedays Gone, Heartbeat Slowing Down and Walk Over Me are great but the rest feels meh.

Short answer: the American word for Indie.

Long answer: The term for rock bands that trace their lineage from punk and new wave. In the 80's these bands weren't very mainstream hence the name. Once Nirvana hit it big everyone started taking influence from them and their contemporaries thus nearly every rock band formed in the 90s or later is considered "alternative". So essentially the term has useless since the 90s. (which is why the term indie came into use in the U.S.)

I'd say it would be most kinds of rock that aren't really bland. Or something.
