Some alternative rock musicians struggle thanks to what their subgenres represent in the eyes of many. To give you an example – what could nu metal musicians do on their own? They were a part of a paradigm that became heavily criticized for a number of reasons – this deserves a discussion, but let us leave that for some other time – , so when some went on their own, they tried to go somewhere else. Shifty from Crazy Town, for instance, decided to make a party album. While this doesn't sound like a stretch for him – his band was in this vein –, the soundscapes shock us. One could glimpse a different career for him, he could be a great vocalist for many European EDM DJs and I'm saddened this didn't happen. He didn't do much solo-wise afterwards
