Dont confuse alt-country with new country (Score 1)

Alt-country is alternative music, for all intents and purposes-Wilco and Whiskeytown hav a lot more in common with Neil Young (the alternative-period Neil Young, of course) or Sonic Youth than Hank Williams. "New country" is the Garth Brook's, the Tim McGraw's-the pop-ified country that plays on VH1 all the time.
