Says a lot about the state of alternative music that two-thirds of these groups have been making music for over a decade.

Edit: actually says a lot more about the state of music awards. There's plenty of great alternative groups right now, but the industry just refuses to recognize them and keeps propping up these zombies of bands. Arctic Monkeys nominated for best act of 2023?? Are you kidding me? They aren't even the best act of their own shows.

New arctic monkeys is super interesting artistically if you haven't given it a chance.

Strongly disagree. They're The Strokes 2.0 without any teeth and an even worse habit or making shitty radio rock singles

You obviously haven't listened to The Car.

You mean the album where three creatively bankrupt artists try to do David Bowie with a bargain bin Portishead knock off in the middle?

I'm starting to think you just have poor taste.
