    What Even Is Alternative? feat. FELICITY

    What Even is Alternative? Track Marks digs into what “alternative” actually means now, from radio labels and genre buckets to DIY ethics, community, and whether success changes the meaning. The conversation starts with Ducky and Foose unpacking the term for themselves, then brings in Drew from Felicity to explore how a band built on genre fluidity, trash rock, and fan-first values fits into the modern alt space. We discuss how alternative moved from a radio category to a vibe, why emo and pop punk became generational markers, and what happens when bands grow from underground favorites into bigger names. Felicity also shares how their sound developed across Mixtape Volume One and Volume Two, how Florida shaped their scene, and why they still care more about connection than fitting a label. Key topics - What “alternative” means today, and whether it’s still a genre or more of an attitude. - How radio, streaming, and social platforms changed the way people discover alt music. - Why genre labels like emo, pop punk, ska, and hardcore still matter to fans. - Whether a band can get bigger without losing its alternative identity. - How Felicity defines its sound through “trash rock” and genre fluidity. - Why community, DIY ethics, and fan connection matter as much as the music itself. - How the Florida scene shaped Felicity’s growth and creative direction. - Why alt music keeps evolving, even when the label itself feels fuzzy.
