alternative lifestyle haircut (n) – A haircut or style that indicates its owner leads a life contrary to that of the conservative or heterosexual world. Also known as “the significant lesbian haircut,” the acquiring of an alternative lifestyle haircut is often seen as a rite of passage into lesbian adulthood, even if it is not maintained after the initial cut. Like a bat mitzvah, but on your head. Examples include: the mohawk, the fauxhawk, the mullet, the sidesweep, and the Tegan and Sara.
The term was coined by Autostraddle.com and has since become a common collloquialism.

Different than alternative lifestyle (often used to describe being part of the LGBTQ+ community), alternate lifestyle describes a life outside the social norms. It may include making money by selling drugs, living as part of a gang, living on the streets by choice, choosing a job of stealing/robbery instead of a law abiding legal job. Living an alternate lifestyle is often a choice by someone (at first), where someone is choosing to live alternate to the lifestyle they are currently able to live. It is not someone living without a house due to job loss, or other unfortunate circumstances, it it a chosen lifetyle for whatever reason (looks/sounds cooler than what they are doing, friends are doing it, they are mad at parents and are choosing to live away instead of going home.).
