Adjetive used to describe either a band, celebrity, or person who often describes itself as "alternative", but usually watch MTV and go shopping at American Eagle Outfitters.

Mainstream + Alternative = Maltstream
Radiohead, Muse, Phoenix, and Vampire Weekend are so maltstream, you better listen to some GIRLS album
