En mi casa encontre una caja de discos viejos; en esta caja encontre un disco, "No Alternative", una compilación de 1993 que llego a mi no por que yo lo obtuviera, sino por alguna de esas casualidades que tienen el destino de muchos discos.. en fin, lo importante no es la música que tiene sino el mensaje que dice en el booklet:
This is not an aleternative rock collection. "Alterntive" rock does not exist. It is a myth on par with Elvis sightings, quality airline food and stress-free relationships. No, what you're listening to is a simply nineteen songs. It is our belief, however, that these songs simultaneously create one beautiful clamor and serve as a sountrack to this suspended moment in time. As a oft-labelled, seldom understood generation, we have no better voice than a community of bands, many of whom you'll find on this record. It is the bands making up no alternative-along with dozens of others, whether they're reinvigorating rock and roll or helping to trascend musical and cultural boundaries -who have helped awaken the world to the fact that music not only has the power to speak to a generation but for a generation. When first listening to this album it may not be inmediately apparent how the poetry of one track corresponds with the nods to the past in the next or why one band's whispers are intricately linked to another group's screams.
En el 93 ya se hablaba de esto, cuando en 2009 sigues escuchando a las momias de la música mexicana refiriendose a que ellos hacen música alternativa y siguen usando ese grotesco término "rock en español"...
