Are there any good, thriving "alternative" music scenes happening anywhere in the world right now? Did those die after the 90s? Where I'm from (swissfag), absolutely nothing interesting is happening. Most local bands are either pop-rock or cover bands and shows don't even happen all that often. There are a few cool and relatively well known black metal bands (Paysage D'hiver, Darkspace, Celtic Frost) but they don't do much and aren't very well liked here.
Where should one be if they want to experience being part of an interesting, living and active music scene (if those even still exist)? Do you guys have cool music scenes where you live? Did the internet kill music communities?
