So, I have always had an interest in subcultures, but I don't think I particularly fit in with any of them.

My parents claim that I am a geek or nerd, but I don't really think I have much in common with them. Sure, I have some geeky interests like videogames and anime, but some people can be hardcore aboht those things, especially at conventions. As for nerds, I like reading about nerdy shit, but I never cared about academics and was a slacker in school.

I've always had an anti-establishment streak as I found I am to eccentric to fit in with mainstream society, but I don't jive with any particular subculture, either.

I never cared about the traditional American lifestyle of going to school, getting married, get a suburban house, etc. I've always just kinda done my own thing and marched to the beat of my own drum.

I don't have a particular fashion style other than dressing for comfort, which for me means a T-shirt, shorts and flip-flops.

I have always had an interest outside of of my own culture and society. I'm the kind of person that will incorporate things into my life from other parts of the world just because it's different and I think it's cool.

I never had a particular music genre I consider a favorite, but I find I like more experimental stuff as well as artists who aren't afraid to do their own thing.

Anyone else like this?

The title is pretty straightforward lol so yeah I do embrace some aesthetic aspects of these subcultures (especially diy and thifting/vintage), and most people say the dark, edgy aesthetic actually suits me more than my usual colorful style, but I like dressing like a cartoon character too much. I feel like my personality already makes people fear me cause I'm always called unapproachable lol so i like how the playfulness of my usual style kind of softens my image? plus I am from post-soviet country so for us sometimes dressing in color feels more alt than wearing all dark clothes hahahah

Even though I do align myself with punk and goth politically and musically, I do not really claim myself as a part of either of those cause I do not dress the part. Makes me feel like a poser lol

thanks :)

can someone giveme a guide of trad goth music?(sorry if my english is not weel)

I know she’s not the only one but she is one of the most popular pioneers of the subculture I’m talking about, along with artists like Elita, Jazmin Bean etc. and brands like Sugar Thrillz. The one that’s kind of right in the middle of coquette, lolita, and pastel goth, with a lot of emphasis on clowns and dolls. Is there any official or semi-official name for it yet?

I was a mid 2000s emo and I was wondering if there were any movies made about the sub-culture? Anything underground or obscure, that will throw me back to 2005. I've never heard of an emo movie literally about what it was like to be in that period of time, do they exist?

This is your friendly reminder that you can always mix and match subculture’s aslong as you respect and enjoy the music and beliefs

Personally I hate labels but I would happily identify under Mod and a Goth/Curehead or being punk/hardcore

Curious

When it comes to clothing and what I wear, I kinda developed my own style that is kinda like a cross between Scott Pilgrim and Jesse Pinkman, and when it come to what I wear, I've noticed that I have been influenced by various other subcultures like emo. I just want to know if that makes me a poser because I don't see myself as emo in the traditional sense, and I have never claimed to be of a specific subculture. I just want to show respect to those who are of those subcultures.

(16f) Everyone around me only seems to like media (music, movies, books, shows, etc.) from today and refuse to like older stuff simply because it's old. Everything I like has pretty much lost relevance since the 90s (industrial music, 90s-2000s web design, 90s computer games, Gregg Araki films etc.) and I have such a love for subcultures and underground counter culture but it seems to be a dying art. I see many comments on posts of people in subcultures of people saying "I wish I could dress like this but my friends will make fun of me/people will make fun of me" I thought that was the point, to be different! What is no longer desirable about subcultures??

Hi, I've read it in a couple of online articles about Taylor Swift, that in the text the Swifties are mentioned as a "subculture". Why are they considered a subculture, when Taylor is located in mainstream pop music?

My dad told me he was a bootboy when he was young, does anyone know what that is?

What kind of Aesthetic am I if I listen to tx2 johnnie guilbert jake webber my chemical romance 6arelyhuman d3r kets4eki ichigo skeletonprince bring me the horizon fall out boy arvil lavigne Pierce The Veil and more and dress with black hair black jbl headphones eyeliner black jeans black comvurs black white with blyes on and pyramid belt and mcr shirt plus black hoodie and black socks and I'm alone without friends and when I'm not at school I'm at home in front of the computer or mobile and Sister in discord and stuff and listening to music almost all the time girl emo scene girls and stuff and am a gen z teenager so which Aesthetic am I?

There is a subculture in the ,,West" (Us, Europe) of people fascinated by the culture of Japan, and vice versa, a group of Japanese people who emulate Western trends. I also heard about ,,goth lolita" subculture in Japan that is inspired by British/French 19th century fashion.

The fact that Chopin is very popular in Japan (I'd argue even moreso than in Europe) and the recent success of Castlevania make me wonder whether there is a specific subculture in Japan of people interested i the culture of Eastern Europe?

I mean like people who live as though they're living in a different decade. Like for example if the subculture were based around the 80s, they would listen to 80s music (probably not exclusively, but in general it's their "go to" style), go to 80s style dances with that kind of music, decorate their living spaces with decor from that time period, play with toys/games from that period, etc. Those members of the subcultures who are musicians would make new music along that style, as if that were still the "in sound". Possibly it would even go as far as, if women (or men) in that subculture keep diaries, they would date the entries with a date in that time period. Effectively spending all or most the free time they have in a bubble where that time is still current.

Are there subcultures like this?

Hey there! I'm Dani/Goblin. It's that time again where I question what subculture I'm in if any because I see so many people have an aesthetic or subculture and I'd really like to figure out where I fit in because I want to be able to be more comfortable in myself. My fiance is a metal head and my best friend is punk. I always feel kinda crap when they start talking about their subcultures and stuff and I'm just sat there like hi!! I don't know where I fit 😅

So some information about me: My usual every day style is dungarees/overalls. I REALLY LIKE OVERALLS! Because they're comfortable and convient. That being said, I do like decorating my dungarees with lots of patches and I've even made crochet granny squares for the back pockets of my black dungarees. In terms of what I pair with my dungarees it's usually a plain coloured t-shirt. If I'm not in dungarees I'm usually in leggings again because comfortable and if wearing leggings I'm in a graphic Tee like my legend of Zelda shirt or my neko-mancer shirt. As for shoes I wear purple and white trainers and I've changed the laces to yellow so they resemble the non binary flag. I do also accessories, I collect novelty earrings and they're all dangle earrings as well, I also accessorize with a bandana on my head tied into a headscarf.

As for my hobbies, I really like crafting. I mostly crochet and I like to make plushies, bags, bandanas/headscarves. I can also knit, sew, cross stitch and embroider. I do also play video games, mostly only Nintendo though as its the most enjoyable for me and I really like the legend of Zelda. I don't really have many other hobbies unless you count the sometimes drawing that I do and my long forgotten diamond painting 😂

As for music, I'll listen to like anything! I mostly like beat heavy music so remixes, EDM, techno etc are ideal because it gives me so much dopamine and it can really scratch an itch for me. I did have a kpop phase (hence the username) And I also like an artist called Tottomori who does what I can only describe as like open world video game like music. It's the sort of music you'd hear on games like Genshin Impact, legend of Zelda, just really chill makes you daydream. I don't know if that makes any sense 😂 if it helps at all I can link my Spotify and y'all can see what I usually listen to

Anyways! Hope someone can help :) if y'all have more questions just ask

Let's make a new sub-culture. I recently noticed a very unnatural action for a teenager. I started listening to old American jazz while walking with a smile.And I thought about making a subculture out of it
