Alternative Rock

A catch-all phrase categorizing whatever music dorky high school kids listen to despite the fact that alternative rock can be quite varied musically. For example, the Red Hot Chili Peppers sound much different than Disturbed, yet both may be considered alternative rock. On the other hand, Disturbed sounds exactly like 3 Days Grace and Nickelback.

As punk was defined more by an attitude and an ethos than a particular style of music, so is alternative rock. That ethos is bands joining together all over America to make bland, passionless insincere rock music with lyrics about depression and breakups to cash in on teenage angst and stupidity.

Listening to alternative rock past high school is good indicator of a mental disability

Alternative Press

A silly hipster magazine. Teeny bopper hipsters like to read this magazine and feel punk. Ussually around 100-130 pages of trendy scene kids making bad puns.

Check out the Wreak Havoc! song "Kids These Days" for better examples.

Scene Kid: I just got my new Alternative Press in the mail! I'M SO HARDCORE!

Anyone Else: You fail.

Alternative Medicine

Medicines or treatments that can used separately from other treatments. In the case of PTSD, an example of an alternative treatment could be Adaptive Disclosure, where different treatments are implemented based on the type of trauma.

As the patient was strongly opposed to man made medications, we suggested the use of an alternative medicine, herbal supplements that had proven to have a similar effect.
