Alté

Means alternative. A group of Nigerian youth who are ahead of the street wear/fashion and music scene in Nigeria. Typically known by their different fashion and alternative music. They usually mingle with people with similar interests to avoid snide remarks about their choices such as fanny packs and how market women use it

Typically disliked by the general public because their difference counters the general docile zombified nature of Nigerians. Also disliked by other youth who have tried to understand them, be them but failed. But they have no problem picking up alté habits when it becomes popular.

Jeez these alté people dress annoying, later buys fanny pack and tracksuits

Guy Odunsi's music is so melodic and calm enough to be enjoyed by different types of people, hmmpt so alté
