By definition, it still does. Along the way, however, people stopped caring about the definition and figured it was a good catch-all way to categorize damned near anything that isn't ridiculously mainstream.
It could be worse. It hasn't been all that long since some of the most mainstream music on the planet was most commonly referred to as "alternative". I dare say that's even dumber than referring to artists with 6 figure guarantees from Sony independent.
