Though the genre is considered to be rock, some of its subgenres are influenced by folk music, reggae, electronic music and jazz among other genres. At times alternative rock has been used as a catch-all phrase for rock music from underground artists in the 1980s, all music descended from punk rock (including punk itself, new wave, and post-punk), and, ironically, for rock music in general in the 1990s and 2000s.

Alternative IS mainstream since quite a while ago. It's such a general term that affects so many genres. Also, lol at RHCP being tagged as alt. They're funk rock pretentious ego clowns, though they have quite a few plays in my library.
