Stop asking this question.
For all I care AFI was more of a hardcore punk band than alternative.
I don't call them alternative band at all. Because they're not. They only get called that because stupid people can't describe their current sound.

Its probably opinionitive, but I'd say they were alternative rock.

AFI is a "rock" band that's come in and out of the spotlight for a while and now they're in. I don't like them. At all. They are very mainstream. I don't really care how people label them. If you like them, call them whatever you want. Paint them up to look like how ever you please.

i call them alternitive rock or just rock.
they're good. and to that one person above me:
it's wrong to dislike a band ONLY because they're mainstream.

Of course it's ******* alternative.
What did you think it was? METAL? HAH! They wish they were metal.
There are two ways i can describe them, alternative wanna be metal head, and emo screamo crapttards.
