fringe
Edge of mainstream
Fringe is the decorative border of hanging threads or tassels on fabric, curtains, or clothing.
By extension, fringe describes the outer edge of anything: the fringe of the forest, the fringe of a crowd.
Figuratively, fringe means marginal or unconventional: fringe groups, fringe benefits (perks beyond regular salary), fringe theater.
To fringe is to border or edge something.
