The only workaround for now is by using Siri. Tell her to shuffle alternative or whatever genre you want and it seems to work.

The whole "tell Siri to shuffle" a particular genre doesn't seem to work very well, but another commenter did come up with a work-around that does.


From your ITune Library you need to build a smart play list, use GENRE as the criteria and choose auto update. For instance a COUNTRY genre criteria will add new country songs automatically to the COUNTRY SMART Playlist, playlists are "shuffle-able".

So far I've found this to be ok, though it's clearly adding several steps to what should be a single one. I've been an iTunes user for years and taking away this feature from only the iPhone is beyond stupid.
