It still means something. Just nowadays, a lot of former alternative music
has become mainstream, although they still label it "alternative", as if it
could be a label! Fortunately, my kind of "alternative" musci still is
alternative: gothic, electro, industrial (and for all these I mean the
music like it is called this way in Europe (and every day more in America),
not the American (White Wolf popularized) "industrial/gothic" like Sisters
of Mercy, Nine Inch Nails (though these ar neat too).

Today, these are my last words for you:
"One OS to rule them all, one OS to find them. One OS to bring them all and
in the darkness bind them. In the land of Redmond, where the shadows lie."
