A teenager who, in an attempt to break societal norms and quotas, dresses, acts, and listens to the same "alternative" music as the majority of other disgruntled teenagers. Piercings, unnaturally colored hair, band t-shirts and a general air of angst and contempt are usually required.

Get the alternateen mug.A small town in Western Pennsylvania. Sometimes referred to as "the ghetto Baltimore" or "Mullettown, Arizona." The town is full of rednecks, whiggers, druggies, drunkies, bad food, pregnant teens, terrible drivers, complete dumbasses, and snow. Almost all white people, hardly any black people, Asians, or gingers. The birthplace of Sheetz, the gas station/conveniance store. Most Altoonians live on Sheetz MTO (Made-To-Order) food because it's the most delicious food on the planet. In Altoona, there are more churches than Jerusalem. The Altoona Area School District runs the town's local schools, AAJHS (Altoona Area Junior High School) and AAHS (Altoona Area High School.) Basically, they are run like boot camps and security is up the wall. Altoona is also known for it's trains, the train station being Altoona's main origin. Altoona has many hills, and if you are lazy or physically unfit, you should not attempt to move up here. Also, in the winter, it is very cold (temperatures reaching to the early 20's in the daytime) and has been known to aquire many feet of snow per year, although the schools run by the fatheads at the school district force students to come in anyway. There is nothing for the younger generation (teenagers) to do, rather than go to little kiddie parks like Del Grosso's, go ice skating at Galactic Ice, and go hunting/fishing/etc. Drug, crime, and obesity rates are skyrocketing. Do not move to Altoona, it is a terrible mistake. Trust me, I know.
Girl 1: Hey, you're new, right? Where did you move from?
Girl 2: Baltimore City, Mayland. My family moved up here to Altoona to get away from the city life. We heard it's really cool up here.
Girl 1: AHAHAHAHAAHAAHAHAHA!!!!

Female Sub-species of Homoe-ra!-ctus
You must not always be fooled by appearance. Female Ra's, although hitting puberty at relatively the same time as normal girls, will actually mature much later due to what I like to refer to as the 'silverspoon effect'. This
delay is commonly unobserved by most, as their premature state is similar to that of a middle aged spoilt housewife. However, between the ages of 17 to 22 the female Ra will search for it's niche in society. It is not unusual at this stage for the Ra to backlash against it's impending fate by trying to look 'alternative' and cheapen it's well maintained front.
Tale-tale Signs for the Alternative Female Rah:
- Went traveling in their gap year and paid vast sums of money to help build a toilet for the poor.
- Continues to wear the beads they believe to made by a sweet African child they befriended - Factory produce, slave labour.
- Has vast amounts of money to spend on hippy festivals and Drum n Bass nights.
- Hides the all common Rah drug addiction under a guise of being a hippy
- Has all intentions of maintaining their current standard of living by doing charity work for the rest of their lives. Hahaha.
As you can see, these can very much parallel the actions and attitudes of even the most famous Rah's such as the late Princess Diana.
