Means 'alternative', often misunderstood for a habit, it is a lifestyle; a group of Nigerian youth with a unique sense of fashion and music. Alté fashion embraces a retro and vintage style, but is some how tagged as "new school". Alté music on the other hand is not mainstream, it is a melodic, whimsy, almost-spiritual groove. The melody and harmony somehow layer over each other, making it a seamless experience in the ear.

A group of trendsetting Nigerian teenagers who adopt a mix of egdy styles such as piercings, baggy pants, dirty sneakers...they enjoy each other's companies because they tend to get criticized by the 'non_altés'. They are party animals and mostly listen to newage artistes such as odunsi, wavythecreator among others. Most of them also have great appreciation for retro music and fashion trends.

Means alternative. A group of Nigerian youth who are ahead of the street wear/fashion and music scene in Nigeria. Typically known by their different fashion and alternative music. They usually mingle with people with similar interests to avoid snide remarks about their choices such as fanny packs and how market women use it
Typically disliked by the general public because their difference counters the general docile zombified nature of Nigerians. Also disliked by other youth who have tried to understand them, be them but failed. But they have no problem picking up alté habits when it becomes popular.
