From an American rapper, singer and songwriter, XXXTENTACION, last music video; SAD! At 5:17 you will see the word ALTY at the end of the paper. It's an unfinished word for "LOYALTY" but to honor his death ALTY was made.

(Noun) A shortened version of the word "alternative." Altie describes the group of angsty people (mainly teenagers) who think they're emo, but really aren't. These people tend to shop at Hot Topic, love TV shows such as Stranger Things, Riverdale and 13 Reasons Why, listen to bands such as Twenty One Pilots, Panic! at the Disco and Fall Out Boy and love the Youtubers Dan Howell and Phil Lester.
