The term has been around for decades. For a long time it referred to alternate lifestyles, specifically goth, punk, glam, etc. Now, I think the usage has broadened to include just about any type of freaks and wackos who should be in a loony bin.

No, but I probably identity as an "alt peeson." Is it an internal statement, sonething that has been created and adapted within the culture (s) or external, used by outsiders to describe them?
