How Subcultures Change the World (And Go Mainstream)

[@jonahblock]

I think the current algorithm based intertnet where everyone is in one pool makes this inevitable but rebellion has been commodified since the 80s.

I think you might be right.

This is hilarious timing for me. i was speaking about a friend of mine years ago, who was the only cyber punk in dublin. he had all the gear blue neon glowsticks in his hair. he was literally a subculture of one. total legend. a guy jimmy the giant on youtube speaks a lot about subcultures its very interesting stuff. hahahaha. on the subculture of environmentalists and the (oh god) one of my clients has just come out of that system and she would fall apart laughing at what you did. because that is how she feels about them now.

@@millersadventure I’ll definitely check out Jimmy. It’s going to be interesting to see how they adapt moving forward I kind of feel that convenience might test Certain sub cultures and while not an inherently bad thing I wonder if it may dilute their uniquenesses.

[@millersadventure]

@@Hoffibranding I think new ones will arise.

I really dont think the furry or even the fet community as a whole is influential. not like music or sports . I mean rocky horror was probably more influential then furries

[@Hoffibranding]

@@mikepict9011 yeah I think you’re right. Sports and a load of different music genres are by far more influential. I guess the hope is that with influence they don’t become diluted. Thanks for the thoughts.

[@mikepict9011]

@Hoffibranding high hopes ....." in russia drinkimg is a subculture " high hopes also haha

[@Hoffibranding]

I thought you were gonna say you hoped it wasn’t going to get diluted 😊

The darkpsy/hitek/psycore scene is about as underground as yiu. An get, its got inbuilt protection from the main stream in that you cant causualy get into it, its a gkobal community and whioe its pretty hard to get into for beginners seasoned vets can find their people anywhere and find the community and parties no worries

[@Hoffibranding]

@@davidwiley3845 I think that’s really interesting. And maybe that’s a way of looking at building these that last.
