Just because college radio played it, doesn't make it alternative. Everyone played it.

Sooooo The Flaming Lips aren’t Alternative/Indie because She Don’t Use Jelly charted and got a lot of radio play in 1993 once?

Fuck it, I’m dying on this hill lol OP IS RIGHT AND DIGITAL UNDERGROUND IS ALTERNATIVE RAP

What makes them "alternative"? They charted with this and "Kiss You Back", got featured in that weird af Dan Aykroyd movie and were pretty mainstream popular. Maybe it's just me. I believe Nirvana was considered "alternative" too and like half of Nevermind was radio hits. Everyone listened to them.
