Alternachav

These people who turn up every now and then to alternative venues becuase they think its for them (for the night, as the rock chick look is in this week!). They come complete in the "right" outfit, generic baggy jeans/a rocking kilt(very punk!) a top from eg-New Look that says something like "punk rock chick" on it. They might also be wearing stripey socks and have recently dyed their hair black, or be wearing a hat, possibly a trucker cap. All the other time they can be found living chavish lives, and wont openly admit to people they think about "alternativeness", just as at an alternative venue they wont admit to liking anything except err umm greenday! they rock!
Alternichav:"Hi I'm Amanda, its my first time down here"
Club goer:"Hi there, what kinda music you like?"
Alternichav:"Umm, you know, like punk rock"
Club goer:"Oh, whose your favourite band?"
Alternichav:"Busted! They totally rock! Boys with guitars are gods!"
Club goer:"goodbye"

alternachav

The large 'dignified' group that fit in between the alternative groups such as punk, emo and indie, and the chav groups. Alteranchavs are easily identified by their high street clothes (New Look, Topman and River Island) and the fact that they always sit near the chavs at school, in hope of being 'promoted'. This is not to say that they know they want to be chavs, it is all a deep psychological need. If you need to identify an alternachav in a hurry, just ask them who The Shins are. Or shout out 'The chavs need a new cronie!' at the top of your voice.
Emo: Hey, heard The Shins new album?
Alternachav: Yeah, totally.
Emo: Ha! They don't have a new album!
Alternachav: LikeshutupIdontknownuffinaboutnuffin

Alternachick

Any girl who dresses everyday like she is going to some concert doens't matter what kind of music it is (rock, techno, whatever) as long as fits into some stereotype. Although heterosexual, these girls don't like dating guys. Thay are tomboys but they are not butch. Unlike metro sexuals they are not high maintenance. (Thats where there is role reversal: Metro sexuals are high maintenance as you would expect a girl to be. Alternachicks are not they are more like guys.) I don't know if they can be labeled as a whore because you can't say they go sleeping around with everyone but it seems that they prefer flings over dating. It seems that both metro sexuals and alternachicks seem to lead the lifestle of the opposite sex, only without being masculine or butch.
Tom: Who is was that hot eccentric girl at your party?

Jack: That's Demonica, she is an alterna chick.

Tom: Whats that?

Jack: You know: A girl who pursues her own fashion sense that is her own making. She is always on some sort of diet. She can't date one guy. She drinks beer and takes shots. She rarely wears makeup and thats why she can't geta job as a bertender, but can easily get a job at Hot Topic. She always hangsout with guys atsome live music event and occasionally makes out with girls at parties.

alternahawk

When a girl, and sometimes a boy, shaves a side of their head, for an "edgy" effect. A common Portland/Seattle sight.
You know, that girl we met the other night, on Hawthorne, I really admired her alternahawk, but I wonder if her head was cold?
