Means 'alternative', often misunderstood for a habit, it is a lifestyle; a group of Nigerian youth with a unique sense of fashion and music. Alté fashion embraces a retro and vintage style, but is some how tagged as "new school". Alté music on the other hand is not mainstream, it is a melodic, whimsy, almost-spiritual groove. The melody and harmony somehow layer over each other, making it a seamless experience in the ear.

I hung out with Ryan last night, he's very much enveloped in this alté music now.

Alternative facts

A fancy way to say bullshit.

"You're saying it's a falsehood and Sean Spicer, our press secretary, gave alternative facts to that,"

Alternative Music

A less intense version of rock and a more intense version of pop. Typically strays from the generic lyrics of pop. Lots of sub-categories, but the main two are alternative rock and alternative pop. Pretty much anything that doesn't fall into the distinct categories like rock, pop, jazz, classical, etc.

It also includes a lot of musical techniques found in other genres. Not very limited creatively.

Alternative music is amazing. Some bands are The Strokes, Vampire Weekend, Arctic Monkeys, New Politics, Weezer, The Kooks, Cage the Elephant, The Moth and The Flame, alt-J, Modest Mouse, Paramore, Two Door Cinema Club, The Wombats, The Black Keys, The White Stripes, Cold War Kids, Phoenix, Muse, Bastille, and Keane. Just to name a few.
