Alter Bridge

A fantastic band. Lyrics are a bit shallow and pathetic for my liking, but the lead singers voice is so deep and captivating that it sends chills down my spine.

Some good alter bridge lyrics are found in the song 'broken wings'.

"On broken wings I'm falling, and it won't be long. the skin on me is burning, by the fires of the sun"

Alternate

Someone who is not good enough, up to par, achieves satisfactory expectations. Someone who would be the best at what they do if only they are given the chance, which they never do.

Friend 1: Hey! What happened to Cindy? I heard she went home.

Friend 2: Yea, she was only an alternate so they had better people in line before her. So she didn't get the position she wanted and was turned away.

alterno-mom

Noun.Contraction of "alternative lifestyle mom".Same as alterna-mom. Punks, Neo-Hippies, or other females who are into alternative culture (tatoos, attachment parenting, extended rebellious adolescence) and who breed.

That alterno-mom is trying a little too hard to pretend like she is still in her twenties, with her hot pink hair, driving a minivan full of kids around.

alternabear

A guy who fits into both worlds of bears (husky, chubby and/or hairy gay men and the men who love them) and alternative culture.

Often, alternabears will have visible tattoos, plugs in their ears or pierced septums. Sometimes, they also can fit the category as hipsters.

alternabro

An individual who closely inhabits the gray area between being a bro (i.e. Anheuser-Busch and Coors loyalists) and being a metro (i.e. men who watch Sex In The City). He is often spotted in the wild with semi-fashionable clothing from H&M or Urban Outfitters, but lacks more pseudo style and grace (and superfluousness) of the scenester sect.

Of course that alternabro ended up with the asian Dashboard girl, who could deny his blazer and t-shirt combo?

Alternative

Alternative is a genre of music that emerged in the late 70s/early 80s and became popular in the 90s. The term "alternative" was coined in the 80s to discribe punk influenced, but hard to label college and or indie rock bands such as Violent Femmes, or The Pixies. Alternative became popular in the early 90s when bands such as Nirvana, Pearl Jam, The Smashing Pumpkins, and Red Hot Chili Pepperswhere discovered by the mainstream music industry and MTV (witch played music at the time.)

Alternative is NOT: pop rock bands such as fall Out Boy simple Plan, Metro Station, Panic At the Disco or Paramore. Those bands lack the origanal content and creativeity that real alternative bands have.
