Alright I know this is a Poll but I decided to explain. Alt is sort for alternative, which is an umbrella term for ALL aesthetics and subcultures outside of what is considering "normal". Although certain things have been given more attention and became mainstream, they are still alternative. Alternative is indie, emo, egirl/eboy, goth, grunge, punk, vintage, all forms of J-fashion, plus some. So technically, alt isn't more of anything, it's everything. Indie kid has most certainly become more mainstream then say, Metal. But it is still alternative. Emo is more obvious, as it came from pop-punk, rock, and metal. It is clear that bands like My Chemical Romance (one of the biggest "emo" bands recognized) is definitely not pop music, nor is the fashion "trendy". So yeah, they are both alt.
