In this episode the podcast is join by RateYourMusic mod and community legend Troutmask to discuss and dissect the state of the "Alternative" genre charts in 2020 and how it and the designation of the genre appears and operates today compared to its older states back during the domination of Alt Rock bands in the mainstream and underground music scene. How far has the term left its mainly Rock-based roots? How much of it is actually good? Can Pat cope with the idea that "Rebirth" by Lil Wayne possibly was ahead of the curve? Will we still find time to shame Troutmask for his opinions on Kanye and discuss Sopranos theories?
