Umbrella term used to define various subculture and counterculture movements, generally based around genres of music such as jam bands, punk, alternative, metal, hardcore, goth, etc. Does not include pop-punk/pop-emo kids, as they are not subculture but instead buying into corporate pre-packaged shit music.
That festival we went to last weekend was great! All the alternafolk came out to play - there were some really weird looking people there.
I really like visiting my sister, her city is full of interesting alternafolk.
