Recently Ive been going back to early/mid 90's grunge cuz I just dont find anything interest these days although I admitedly know very little of whats going on in the alternative and prog worlds of today.
 
Id like to be introd to anything post 2000 that you think is worth listening to, based on my love for all the 90's classics:
 
Soundgarden
Nirvana
Pearl Jam
AIC
Rage
Radiohead
TOOL
 
and similar to some recent material too:
 
Cave In
Chevelle
Incubus
Dredg
Deftones
The Mars Volta
Porcupine Tree
 
I'll take anything related any genre above but I want high quality music; the great bands of tomorrow.
 
Thanks!

I know BTS; definitely not what im looking for but thanks for the rec either way.
They are way too lite; IMO not reminiscent or similar to any of the bands above.

I do ASR; APC is ok but more just TOOL LITE and Disturbed (imho and no offense) I dont find to be a very talented band.

Some of my favorites:
The Replacements
Bloc Party
Spoon
The National
Dave Matthews
 
Sorry, that's it for alternative. Keep in mind that I listen to mostly indie bands. Some of the listed may not even explicitly be alternative.

I dont know anything by Godsmack or Slipknot as I always wrote them off as commercial, non-talented bands.
I could very well be wrong; where to start?

Already a big Incubus fan :)
