i think perhaps the specificity of your question is too constricting. I'd suggest a more general, open-ended question to spur discussion.

Everything is an alternative to something. Too vague of a question, you must define normal before you can define its alternative.

as in emo high tech architecture or alt-folk organic? perhaps trip hop minimal?psychedelic multi-media - esque?

but really, in parallel, antony and the johnsons so deserved that mercury prize.

for every girly boy out there:

'When I was a young boy
Mama said, “You better watch out for the fall.”
But now that I’m a grown woman and I know
I know, I know I can see the cold'

Just wait until the smells-like-teen-spirit building comes out in stores. Then everyone will quickly latch on to alternative architecture. Then it won't be alternative anymore, though we will continue calling it that.
