I didn't study for the big test so I used some alternative facts.

Alternative Facts

A fancy term for lies

Conspiracy theorists recieve their "alternative facts" from some lower class bum who sits in front of a camera in his basement posting YouTube videos regarding flat earth theories or anti vax propaganda.

soft alternative

An alternative rock genre that's quieter than normal alternative rock. Kind of like Hard Alternative(or Alternative Metal) that's louder than normal Alternative rock. Bands like Bastille, Mumford and Sons and Bleachers. Soft Alternative generally leans more toward folk rock, synthpop, new wave and pop rock than hard rock and metal like Hard Alternative.

Soft Alternative is really popular in the 2010's.

alternafolk

Umbrella term used to define various subculture and counterculture movements, generally based around genres of music such as jam bands, punk, alternative, metal, hardcore, goth, etc. Does not include pop-punk/pop-emo kids, as they are not subculture but instead buying into corporate pre-packaged shit music.

That festival we went to last weekend was great! All the alternafolk came out to play - there were some really weird looking people there.

I really like visiting my sister, her city is full of interesting alternafolk.
