I think we're conflating alternative with diversity here. Alternative rock is simply a descriptor of the music, alternative from popular rock of the time. A diverse artist performing the popular music at the time doesn't really count as alternative. A white middle aged person performing fresh, original music different from the mainstream can be alternative.Lil Nas X (though I'm not huge on his music) is another example far more 'alt' than those alternative rock bands from 20 years ago.
