They are nebulous due to their anonymous online existence and the uncertainty of their exact motives. Their main outlet, the posting of memes of 4-chan and 8-chan, could easily just be pranksters out to ruffle feathers. And apparently they've hijacked Pepe the Frog as their spokesperson. Internet boogeymen. A virtual mythos. Tinfoil hat material.
What, are you implying that all that online hate is really evil liberal agent provocateurs out to besmirch the good names of honest alt righters? That the Alt Right aren't actually a bunch of kooks and lunatics?
No that's you putting words in my mouth. I'm saying they could be any number of different people with any number of different agendas. Now take any real group like the Hell's Angels or the Girl Scouts or whoever and you'll see they had a founding member and founding members and were establish on a particular date etc. Can you do that with the "alt-right"? I mean other than Pepe the Frog.
Or most likely, they could be the far right lunatic fringe.

That's a very vague description of any type of organisation or entity, which brings it back to being nebulous. It reminds me of numerous well known people being accused of being "Illuminati". Illuminati confirmed. Alt-right confirmed. Maybe by using the same form of deduction:
The Alt Right are right wing, fanatical nativists, racists, and Antisemites. Nothing more to understand. To say that there is something more, or more in depth about them, is to give them too much credit.
Okay. I still don't particularly get it.
I know what you're asking for: An email address....a phone number or home address....something that shows the "alt-right" is real.
But there are no such identifiers because the "alt-right" is not real. What it is is THE BOGEY MAN! You've heard of the famous Bogey Man certainly.
This is an exact match for the term Communists as it was used during the Cold War. You're supposed to believe they are out there, lurking in the woods, ready to pounce and defeat the powers of good, decency, and Democracy. It's meant to frighten little children and make them go to bed on time...very childish really.
(And you'll note the similarities in that The Bogey Man doesn't have a phone number either
).

Actually, he wasn't. But he was suffering from the computer equivalent of "foot in mouth" disease.
These social networks are really suborning bad manners and foul speech.
Oh, the mayor is one of those guys with a chic name!

).So Spencer, Bannon, Breitbart and the Heritage Foundation, and the rest of that cesspool of hate don't really exist? It's going to be a real surprise to Trump when Bannon's White House office remains empty, as the man, by what you saying, isn't real.

I wasn't aware the NYT reported on mythological entities like the Illuminati. I thought a story about the movement of the alt-right and it's founder in the NYT could be considered decent evidence of the existence of said movement, but I guess the alt-right is just as mythological as the Illuminati because reasons.
