What is alt.culture?

Alt.culture, also known as alternative culture, refers to the subcultures and countercultures that exist outside the mainstream of popular culture. It includes groups and communities that have a distinct style, ideology, or set of values that differ from the dominant culture. Alternative culture can encompass a wide range of groups, including punk rockers, hippies, goths, gamers, ravers, and others. Alt.culture often rebels against or critiques mainstream culture and may be associated with radical politics, non-conformity, and anti-authoritarianism. In the digital age, alternative culture has become more accessible through online communities and social media, with many subcultures forming online.
