It is an all-encompassing term usually meaning either "conservative who is not a neocon" or "person of a conservative persuasion I don't happen to like" depending on the speaker's own politics. Technically, much like SJW, it has no real meaning.
I'm going to expand on this a bit. The term is thrown around too loosely, and "alt right" is constantly used to describe two differing groups.
The alt-lite are the younger Trump fans that you would find on places like /r/The_Donald or following Lauren Southern, Rebel Media, Steven Crowder and Paul Joseph Watson. They are civic nationalists, not racial nationalists, however they are very vocal about muslim immigration stance for obvious reasons. They don't like (and aren't liked by) Neocons, as they believe there's no difference between a Bush type and a Clinton type. They are pretty easy to identify from their love of pepe related memes (kekistan, meme magic etc). They called themselves "alt right" until early this year when it was discovered that Richard Spencer was the one that actually founded the alt right back in 2010 or something.
The alt-right on the other hand are actual racial nationalists. They too were big Trump fans until the Syrian runway was bombed in april(?), and they felt as though Trump was just another Neocon type that was going to start more wars in the middle east. They don't like the alt lite very much, and they hate Neocons.
They are heavily anti immigration and anti jewish. Their memes are usually a lot more offensive (a wyatt man, happy merchant, etc), but they can still be seen using pepe on occasion.
You will find these people following TheRightStuff, The Daily Stormer, Richard Spencer and /pol/. If youtube subscriptions on their biggest channels are any indicator, the alt right is very small.
