...gimmick, but I knew it wasn't," he says. He eventually quit school to promote rap full time. In 1983 he and a friend named Rick Rubin, a student at New York University, pooled their savings and started the Def (rap for cool) Jam (music) label.

Such is the logic of alternative rock. It goes something like this: A really cool "alternative" band is somehow presumptuous enough to sign a record contract with a major label. Now everyone can buy their tapes. They get some radio play. They make a video. They tour. Bingo. "Mainstream. "Sellout. Q.E.D...
