Alternative rock is alternative only to 'pop' music, so it will change as popular culture changes. Currently, the term 'alternative rock' is used to describe a music genre of mostly heavier, less radio-friendly rock. However, should what we now think of as alternative rock be assimilated into mainstream pop culture, it can no longer be considered alternative. Also, note that it is just an arbitrary label used to categorize a broad range of different sounds and artists and is in no way definitive or absolute.
