alt/alternative

Alt has many different subcultures such as: goth,emo,grunge,scene,punk , etc. Please do not call an alternative H U M A N an emO or a big iddy goth gf unless they give you permission. Some alt music artists: Simple plan , Nirvana , 3 doors down , Alice in chains, 10,000 maniacs , Radiohead , R. E. M. , Red hot chilli peppers , the 1975 , violent femmes , weezer, 30 seconds to mars , etc. You don't have to like all this music, or even any, to be alternative don't worry. Some alt fashion expla.: Alternative fashion is similar to that of punk and goth. Music is the central element, while fashion and visuals are optional. However, the label "alternative fashion" has transformed to become any fashion outside of the mainstream. When most people think of alternative fashion, they think of Punk , Goth , emo , lolita , pastel goth , kawaii , or maybe even indie fashion!Although alternative fashion is often a combination of these styles, it is not limited to them. For instance, Fairy Kei could be considered alternative fashion since it is outside the mainstream. The alternative community generally supports small artists, and this sentiment often mirrored in the fashion, with places like Etsy and small businesses being good places to shop for alternative clothes. Thrifting is also encouraged, along with DIY. Some websites and stores you can get authentic alt stuff at =D :Alternative Clothing on etsy, Dr. Martens, Jawbreaker, TRIPP NYC, forever 21,UNIF,Whatever 21,YRU,Ravens and rockers,
