Refers to the more light-hearted/trivial-affliction-related (i.e., non-substance-abuse or other serious-addiction-type condition) gatherings of sufferers where everyone shares life-stories and fellowship, and tries to assist each other in reducing/alleviating said unfortunate conditions/infirmities. Examples would include Belchers Anonymous (at all the other meetings listed here, they serve you tasty carbonated drinks, but at this meeting, you only get non-fizzy libation so that you won't start burping!), Bellyachers Anonymous, Colliders Anonymous (for folks who often clumsily blunder into objects/people), Foot-steppers Anonymous (again, this would be for those of you who don't adequately watch where you're walking, and so you accidentally tread on others' toes a lot), Groaners Anonymous (they seat you in chairs with heating-pads and offer you pain-relievers), Grumblers Anonymous, Stumblers Anonymous, Whiners Anonymous, Yawners Anonymous (at all the other meetings they let you sit on comfy upholstered chairs, but here they make you sit on hard wooden benches so that you don't get too relaxed and then start sleepily displaying your tonsils), etc.
One amusing fact about alternative anonymous meetings is that quite a number of any particular meeting's attendees may also suffer from a lot of the maladies and shortcomings addressed in other anonymous meetings, as well (i.e., achy people who copiously moan and groan also tend to complain a lot and mindlessly bumble into and/or step on the feet of unsuspecting souls unfortunate enough to happen to be in their paths), and so you tend to see a lot of familiar faces at many of the various meetings.
Alt has many different subcultures such as: goth,emo,grunge,scene,punk , etc. Please do not call an alternative H U M A N an emO or a big iddy goth gf unless they give you permission. Some alt music artists: Simple plan , Nirvana , 3 doors down , Alice in chains, 10,000 maniacs , Radiohead , R. E. M. , Red hot chilli peppers , the 1975 , violent femmes , weezer, 30 seconds to mars , etc. You don't have to like all this music, or even any, to be alternative don't worry. Some alt fashion expla.: Alternative fashion is similar to that of punk and goth. Music is the central element, while fashion and visuals are optional. However, the label "alternative fashion" has transformed to become any fashion outside of the mainstream. When most people think of alternative fashion, they think of Punk , Goth , emo , lolita , pastel goth , kawaii , or maybe even indie fashion!Although alternative fashion is often a combination of these styles, it is not limited to them. For instance, Fairy Kei could be considered alternative fashion since it is outside the mainstream. The alternative community generally supports small artists, and this sentiment often mirrored in the fashion, with places like Etsy and small businesses being good places to shop for alternative clothes. Thrifting is also encouraged, along with DIY. Some websites and stores you can get authentic alt stuff at =D :Alternative Clothing on etsy, Dr. Martens, Jawbreaker, TRIPP NYC, forever 21,UNIF,Whatever 21,YRU,Ravens and rockers,

"An alternate subcategory that consists of combining multiple or all other subcategories, due to confusion or liking multiple alternative subcategories."
It's basically someone who can't fit into one category, and they feel like their being pulled in different directions because they can't put their finger on what they are or want to be. It's taking two or more things and mixing them together to make a better thing that fits, like a Cocktail.
"Anyone know what Zero Alternative is?"
"Uh, Yea I do."
"What is it?"
"It's when someone has more than one Alternative Subcategory or can't fit into just one."
"Oh, okay. It sounds kinda interesting."
To use a different (alternate) approach to solving a problem when the standard approach doesn't work, an approach that is less complicated than improvising.
