fauxternative

Kids who think they are cool and alternative when they are really not, and are just crap at life. These kids tend to sit around having "jam" sessions on their guitars, believe in socialism (when they really have no idea wtf it is), wear black nailpolish and have dreads, but on the inside are little mummy's boys who ain't hardcore. They also probably wear coloured underwear.
"God I was at this guys place the other day, and everyone there was totally fauxternative"

NB/ can be abbreviated to fauxtern

faketernative 

A "faketernative" is someone who claims to be alternative but really isnt. Like indie people, they tend to call themselves alt without knowing the meaning. Another meaning is fake alternative people who dress alt but dont listen to the music and think the word "alt" is one word and also often thinks that being an egirl is alt. lol
"!Example 1: "Look at her! shes such a faketernative all she does is drink monster energy, wear eyeliner and say shes alt
Example 2: Girl 1: "Do you like my outfit its so alt" c
Girl 2: "so cool, what do you listen to"c
Girl 1: "Clairo, tame impala, lil peep andd-" c
Girl 2: "Let me stop you right there, you're not alt! you're a faketernative." c

Stealthie 

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"
