I am the lil alt. The mini alt. The lil-est alt.
Learned how to be alt at a young age
with the help of my older sister
I am young, with my entire life ahead of me
many years to evolve into the perfect personal brand
but today I am young
I am alt
I am small
but my heart is strong
I am sure of myself
The kids at school do not ‘get’ me
But I have learned that is a good thing
I am oblivious to the tween sensations that mnstrm kidz are in2
(had to google ‘Kanyegate’)
I am literally the youngest person in the world to genuinely appreciate The Dirty Projectors
I will start a mp3 blog 4 kids by kids
carrying the alternative torch to make the kids scene
a lot better 4 every1
There’s just so much more to the world than Disney bullshit
I am proud.
One day I will be an old man
on my death bed
looking back on the life that I had
so many missed connections and casual encounters
I will look back on my youth
and smile
A large grin for my alternative innerchild.
I am the lil alt
The embodiment of the alternative spirit.
(miss u. say hi 2 Heath 4 me in meme heaven)
U cannot put out
the flame
of the alternative fire
in a tru alt.
So much alt in such a lil alt.

dont think that lil alt has the brain capacity yet 2 truly understand brillience of dirty projecters or animal collection. He probably just sayz same stuff his sis says about it. probably secretly just wants to listen to regular kid stuff but his sister forces him because she wants the coolest lil bro. Wonder if when he reaches his rebellious teens if he will have a backlash and become a young republican or something.

can’t wait to have lil alts of my own some day. me and my alt-bro bf will get illegitamately preggers in a few years and since we’ll be done with our liberal arts education already we will decide not get an abortion. gonna raise our kids to be meaningful and not afraid to dress different or care about music and art. gonna feed my baby nonalcoholic sparks and sing him regina spekky songs as lullabyes. alts parents rule.

Think I might have been alt when I was little (via being obsessed with school buses when all my peers were obsessed with Pokemon). Feel by liking school buses I set myself apart from the mnstrm and created an alt identity for myself, instead of assimilating to my suburban peers’ monotonous inane bullshit interest – feel Pokemon may be alt in an ironic sense once one reaches ad-alt-hood. Wish I would have known about lookbook at age 10.

Wish I would’ve known about:

Lookbook
Blind I

Back when I was in Middle school.
Felt like I could have ‘gotten it wet’ way back then.
High school girls are smelly.

that kid dresses almost exactly like me. not sure how this reflects on my personal brand/style. either he dresses like an older alt or i dress like a babybengibbard.

what about the long and tiresome journey that has gotten us to true altdom? thats not fair, he should endure what all of us did. via generic alternative music and band t-shirts.

@siesie, yes no alt can become truly alt if he hath not endured such things all ‘grown up’ alts have.

Fuck these kids, they aren’t alt, they are just style as they sit their lil fggt asses home and listen to Lil Weasle and Molly Cyrus. Fucking little tard shits.
