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.
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.

Get the Alt/Alternativemug. 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.
