I hadn’t heard the term “alt-right” until a couple weeks ago.
“The alt-right (short for “alternative right”) is a loose group of people with far right ideologies who reject mainstream conservatism in the United States. The alt-right has no formal ideology, although various sources have stated that white nationalism is fundamental. It has also been associated with white supremacism, Islamophobia, antifeminism, homophobia, antisemitism, ethno-nationalism, right-wing populism, nativism, traditionalism, and the neoreactionary movement. The movement lacks a consensus ideology, and has further been associated with multiple groups from American nationalists, neo-monarchists, far-right leaning men’s rights advocates, and people who oppose mainstream conservatism.”
prominent alt-right figures such as Andrew Anglin of The Daily Stormer and Jazzhands McFeels of Fash the Nation have embraced the term as the core philosophy their movement is based on. In response to a Washington Post article that portrayed the movement as “offensiveness for the sake of offensiveness”, Anglin said “No it isn’t. The goal is to ethnically cleanse White nations of non-Whites and establish an authoritarian government. Many people also believe that the Jews should be exterminated.”

If Wikipedia says so it must be true./s
There are hundreds of names intended to describe political “schools of thought”, but I stress the word “intended”, because many of these names, maybe even most, are used exclusively to describe the opposition.
For example, no conservative ever calls himself a “right wing extremist” and no liberal ever calls himself a “lib-tard”.
“Alt-right” is one of these, an invention of the left to smear the right. Don’t lend it credibility by posting a Wikipedia definition implying it is anything more than a tool of leftist propaganda. Anyone can write submit a Wikipedia article.
Note that the Wikipedia “definition” uses the phrase “a loose association”. If that empty phrase doesn’t register on your BS meter, then nothing will.
