I don't agree that there isn't an alt-mainstream. Wouldn't stuff like Magdelena Bay, Japanese Breakfast, 100 gecs, Ghost, and Sleep Token qualify? Stuff that you'll find on the album charts or the genre charts, but not in the top 40?

That's the thing: Even in the 80s and 90s everyone has heard of Metallica or ACDC.

I might not be the measure of things, but I have never heard of any of the bands you referenced.
