Experimental Rock?

That's most definitely not a genre. Experimental rock could be almost anything.

My thought exactly. I don't think Radiohead can be described as one true genre because they take several influences from many genres especially on Kid A and Amnesiac.

I agree with the fact that classic rock is not a genre.

There was nothing arrogant about what I said. Alternative Rock was a music scene/movement and nothing more. Unless you can tell me how the Pixies, Guided by Voices, fIREHOSE, R.E.M and Butthole Surfers sound the same or even similar.

I dunno, early alternative had a lot in common. Most of the bands called alternative nowadays are definitely not alternative though.

Even in the early 90s it was just a bunch of bands and musicians connected via a scene. I don't understand how many bands had similar aspects (outside of respective smaller scenes).

Sure Radiohead, Superchunk, etc. had a similar sound. But not a lot did for very long.
