What happened to the Alternative Rock scene?

iTunes Top Songs list which was riddled by Alternative songs, doesn’t even have one Alternative in the top 10 with only Coldplay holding a position in the Top 20.
For a guy who was stuck on Alternative music for a few years now, I also just realized that my last 3 song purchases were in the Electronic and World Music genres. I guess my mind is back in exploration mode… It was fun while it lasted. I’ll have to wait until Alternative is back in style again… roughly a 25 year cycle (See my related post on re-80s).
Wonder if that cycle exists so parents and their teenage kids can reconnect on a cultural level?
