Get the aLtErNaTiNg CaPs mug.Alternative applies to people, usually fairly young people (young at heart at least!), that do not fit into any particular subculture but are definitely not townies or any other 'mainstream' types.
Personally, I like lots of different music, from Joy Division to Alanis Morissette and Nirvana. Because this is not 'cool' music (if by cool you mean mindless shite like hip hop and garage, yo, yo me-freestyle bollocks that townies like!) I would call it alternative music which therefore makes me alternative.
So basically, alternative is the best term to label yourself with if you want to position yourself outside of the mainstream without tying yourself down to a particualar subculture, such as goth or grunger

Get the alternative mug.Altertexting: verb or adjective. A texting (or Instant Messaging) conversation where two separate lines of conversation are going on simultaneously in an alternating fashion as texters switch back and forth from one topic to another and back again. This alternating subject matter is generally initiated by nearly simultaneous texts from both texting parties on different topics but then carry through in an extended conversation as each answers the other and then incorporate their own replies both to the other textor's line of thought and their own original topic. This "altertexting" can occur in any real time social media by cell phone or computer. This does not include actual real time voice conversation.
Altertexting:
