Apparently I never go to gigs (over-exaggeration by those who attend gigs non-stop) I guess better exposure to non-alternative music, there seems to be a lack of bands from genres such as dance, hip-hop and folk to name but three. Maybe due to lack of actual bands, but still.

The man across the road from me is building a wall, it is made of grey bricks.

doesnt that contradict yourself?

[Inkster]

I think she means too many gigs aimed at audiences such as punk fans and she would like more bands which do not play punk.

Note: punk was used as an example.
