Japanese, American, and British subcultures and counter cultures are quite well known throughout the world, but what are some other less well known ones in other countries? Do you think these are a hindrance to that society and everyone should stick to the status quo, or is it something to be accepted and celebrated?

I’m really interested in French subculture/counterculture. I’ve tried google, but all I’m getting is “Muslim culture” and not much meat or substance about it as it pertains to modern French culture.

I wanna know what European counter cultures are like.
Are there Italian goths?
Lithuanian punks?

What’s the go with Russians and adidas?

cool idea OP!

not sure if it counts as a counterculture, but the cambodian psych out is pretty fun. started out with some mass appeal in the 60s, unfortunately died out with the rise of the khmer rogue but i think its coming back, albeit a lot more niche

This is actually really cool and exactly what I had in mind. I had no idea Cambodia was huge into psychedelic rock at one point, and even though it’s tragic what happened to it, it’s interesting to see the reaction once Rouge came into power.

Another question for everyone, do you think something is birthed as a subculture or counterculture for purely political reasons, or because it might look or sound “cool”?

I've always felt a slight connection to the cybergoth scene in Mexico.

Also, let's not forget Mexico's second religion is Dragonball Z. They have episodes parties at bars. You like how the US does sports events, Mexico does Dragonball.

Do you guys know Afrofuturism? I'm not black/African but this is cool af. I love the aesthetics.

Sorry, Dragon Ball is overrated. Not worthy of being a religion.

well not all subcultures are political in nature. i mean steampunk for example is a subculture, but i dont see too much political reasoning. counterculture on the other hand seems to be more political (i.e punk or riot girl stuff). not to go all anti-consumerist but every subculture/counterculture that has become more mainstream appeal always gets marketed to hell and back and its end up killing any authenticity the culture originally had. like the whole "corporate punk" debate

afrofuturism is cool as hell.

i think there are a few afrofuturism music festivals worth checking out if youre interested in the music aspect of it!

Are you the same anon that goes into every thread to talk about how you think Dragon Ball is overrated garbage?
