"Altgirl" is an internet slang term used to describe young women and girls who embrace alternative fashion subcultures, such as goth, e-girl, grunge, punk, or indie aesthetics. The term is a blend of "alternative" and "girl," frequently used as a self-identifier or a descriptor across social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Bluesky. Individuals under this label often feature distinct styling, including dyed hair, dark makeup, unique piercings, or thrifted wardrobe pieces. It serves as a broad cultural umbrella for youth defying mainstream fashion norms.

— I saw your new selfie on the timeline, your makeup style is looking so good. — thanks! I'm fully leaning into my altgirl era with these chunky boots and dark eyeliner.
An altgirl carefully adjusts her studded belt and takes three identical photos in front of a neon-lit bedroom mirror.
— are you dressing up for the local concert tonight? — obviously, every altgirl in the city is going to be wearing fishnets and oversized band t-shirts.
