ALTE by EJEEZZYY September 13, 2023
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.
I hung out with Ryan last night, he's very much enveloped in this alté music now.

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.
Ola and his friends really appreciate the alté style

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.
Jeez these alté people dress annoying, later buys fanny pack and tracksuits

Guy Odunsi's music is so melodic and calm enough to be enjoyed by different types of people, hmmpt so alté

Alté is derived from the word Alternative. It means doing things differently from the norm.

Alté Nigeria is the new community of young, educated and creative individuals that spans both online & offline.

We are attracting non-conformist professionals, entrepreneurs, creators in Nigeria & Diaspora, who wish to Vibe, Network, Unwind and still have a Fulfilled experience amongst Like Minds.

Alté is more than fashion or music. It is a way of life, an identity that says "I am free to try an alternative approach to my goals".

Alté Nigeria not to be confused with Alté Kids is designed to encourage millennials and professionals to come together and mingle either at Alté events or online via the popular social networking website www.alte.ng.
It's perfectly okay to be Alté about Lagos

city chicken 

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.
Are yinz havin' city chicken for dinner?

endwarfins

The rush of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides triggered specifically by watching the Seven Dwarfs march home singing "Heigh-Ho" — that particular high of pickaxes, whistling while you work, and communal domestic bliss in a cottage built for men half your height.
I only meant to watch the Heigh-Ho scene for the endwarfins, and then it was two hours later and I'd watched the whole movie.

Endwarfins aren't just a Snow White thing — I get the same hit off the Lollipop Guild in Oz.
