alternakid

An individual who for no legitimate reason thinks they're the shit because they dress, in some way, "alternativly" or have embraced some facet of alternative culture. Think high schoolers who are a walking add for Hot Topic and pretend they can skateboard. Generally irritating and dress "oddly" to gain attention of some sort.

I have nothing against indie people, goths, or even preps really, it's those kids who can't think for themselves and just follow along as alternakids that bother me.

That girl trys to talk with all the guys because she thinks she's different from everyone when really she is just an alternakid name dropping bands like My Chemical Romance!

When someone dyes their hair outrageous colors; as with Punky Color or Manic Panic. Awesome & Fun!

Alternative facts

A fancy way to say bullshit.

"You're saying it's a falsehood and Sean Spicer, our press secretary, gave alternative facts to that,"

Alternative Music

A less intense version of rock and a more intense version of pop. Typically strays from the generic lyrics of pop. Lots of sub-categories, but the main two are alternative rock and alternative pop. Pretty much anything that doesn't fall into the distinct categories like rock, pop, jazz, classical, etc.

It also includes a lot of musical techniques found in other genres. Not very limited creatively.

Alternative music is amazing. Some bands are The Strokes, Vampire Weekend, Arctic Monkeys, New Politics, Weezer, The Kooks, Cage the Elephant, The Moth and The Flame, alt-J, Modest Mouse, Paramore, Two Door Cinema Club, The Wombats, The Black Keys, The White Stripes, Cold War Kids, Phoenix, Muse, Bastille, and Keane. Just to name a few.
