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. These subcultures may have little or nothing in common besides their relative obscurity, but cultural studies uses this common basis of obscurity to classify them as alternative cultures, or, taken as a whole, the alternative culture. Compare with the more politically charged term, counterculture.

This is not to be confused with the "hello kitty says ACAB" monster energy gun people, who promote the ideal that more money spent=the more alt you are, which is the direct opposite definition of alt.

People who are against the promotion of perfectionism in the media, and like to look a different way than the societal norm can be considered alt/alternative.
