In a fashionistic sense, it means to stray away from newspaper and capitalistic definitions of what it means to be perfect and acceptable in society. It is a DIY and anti-big-company based ideology.

Alternative culture is a type of culture that exists outside or on the fringes of mainstream or popular culture, usually under the domain of one or more subcultures.

Compare with the more politically charged term, counterculture.
