You listen to crappy metal bands and dare to name RH as being gay. No, you're gay.

The most pointless, broad, genre on earth. So what exactly is "Alternative" anyway? I mean, some say it's Radiohead. Some say it's random shitty scene bands. Some say it's RED. Like seriously, what the fuck? However, RED owns, while Radiohead and scene bands are fucking gay.

What do all of these bands have in common? Some of their listeners think their music is edgy because it isn't Rap, Metal or Pop.
