Thanks for listening.

I covered a few well-known alternative fashion styles including goth, punk, metal, grunge, emo and more. I also added in some of my favourite honourable mentions near the end as a treat. Enjoy!

While searching for the time period of when alternative fashion started, I found very little. Though, a new question came up: why did alternative fashion come into existence? I interviewed Matt Disci to take a look into their perspective on when they think it might have become mainstream.

This episode we'll be dipping our toes into the alternative world- starting with one question: "What does 'alt' mean to you?"

I asked a few college students about the way they dress and how they feel about it to kick off a series on the nuances of alt culture and fashion. I also slipped in an interview with Em Baker, an alternative fashion wearer, for a deeper look at what it means to be alt for someone other than myself.
