alternabro

An individual who closely inhabits the gray area between being a bro (i.e. Anheuser-Busch and Coors loyalists) and being a metro (i.e. men who watch Sex In The City). He is often spotted in the wild with semi-fashionable clothing from H&M or Urban Outfitters, but lacks more pseudo style and grace (and superfluousness) of the scenester sect.
Of course that alternabro ended up with the asian Dashboard girl, who could deny his blazer and t-shirt combo?

Alternatoff 

Painstakingly bohemian posh young person who tries too hard to look different, normally via Daddy's credit card.
"I'm not a rah boy, I ripped these jeans myself."

"Gosh, you're so alternatoff."

"I know, right. Just because they're from Jack Wills people think I have more money than sense. Nobody understands me. I'm so... like, different."

Alternarock

The coolest way to say Alternative Rock, which, since Fall Out Boy, has been more pop-rock than anything.
Interviewer: So what kind of music do you guys play?
Pete: We tend to stick to alternarock since we don't have a big indie crowd.
Interviewer: I guess not with songs like "Sugar, We're going Down". Are you sure you're not just a pop/rock band?
Pete: No, we're definitely alternarock. Definitely.
