even though i know for sure that the following bands im going to mention are not metal i would like to know the exact classification bands like Radiohead,Sigur Ros,Modest Mouse,and Sonic Youth would fall under.i always thought of the term "experimental and progressive were sort of the same thing but just in case im wrong this is why im asking.

what about radioheads step into electronica,blues,and jazz? does that still make them just a rock band or does that mean they are starting to enter progressive territory?

That means that they are a rock band with influences from other genra 3nodding
not that they are progressive as a genre, their music may be progressive for rock, but it doesn't make them play progressive rock.
try listen to rush, then you can hear the difference between multiple influenced rock and progressive rock.

ok thats the divider I was looking for[not that they are progressive as a genre, their music may be progressive for rock, but it doesn't make them play progressive rock.]because i wasnt even really sure if being influenced by other styles counted as prog or not.thanks for clearing that up a little bit for me cool

Most of the alt rock originals have heavy punk or post-punk influences.

I may step on a few toes with this, but in my humbly deified opinion, their genres are all "Suck-core" for not being metal..

I think you need to be more open minded. There's a lot of great not metal music.

There's not been anything released that's worth a damn since the 80's. No.

Well, I'm going to have to disagree with you. I believe every decade has yielded their own interesting, unique, and talented musicians, all spanning a wide variety of genres.
