Alternatoff

Painstakingly bohemian posh young person who tries too hard to look different, normally via Daddy's credit card.

"I'm not a rah boy, I ripped these jeans myself."

"Gosh, you're so alternatoff."

"I know, right. Just because they're from Jack Wills people think I have more money than sense. Nobody understands me. I'm so... like, different."
