Subculturey people on WP?

Punk. I think it is a very Aspie subculture. Its okay to be weird and not be a part of mainstream society if you are a punk.

"stoner" if that's even a thing anymore.

artist culture is pretty subculturey.

and I guess I'm a part of a subculture of female welders...

Teens in general can be very cliquish...I mean I considered myself a metalhead whilst still in highschool but I didn't really 'fit in' with any other people who listened to 'metal' at my school though they mostly just listened to metallica and some vaguely metalish hard rock. But yeah in highschool everyone wants a cool 'image' so it can be a lot harder to find people who actually are passionate about a subculture and want to include more people who are intrested...a little easier out of highschool I mean it seems people around my age, 26 to like 30 if they still consider themselves a metalhead or punk its pretty safe to assume they aren't some cliquish elitist that things you have to only listen to certain bands or look a certain way to be part of the subculture....at least in my experience its more some of the younger ones especially middle and high school age that act like that. I mean when I was in highschool a lot of people would dress the part, of various images but underneath were just mean popular kids who didn't like people who don't fit in.

Sometimes it's really difficult to gain entrance to a subculture when by design it is so outside the mainstream the only way to learn the ropes is by word of mouth. The internet has helped, some, with that?

I feel it's similar if you're a metalhead, main difference is music style....though without punk there wouldn't likely be any thrash metal or death metal.

I'm way into Vintage and retro. I'll do lots of decades and also Pinup. It just depends on my mood.

This month I'm doing all black though, in honor of Halloween. I'm looking pretty gothy and not doing much in the way of Retro or Vintage every day right now, but sometimes I'll mix things up.

i wouldn't say that i really belong to any subculture, the way i dress and the music i listen to are kind of their own thing. does electronic music even have a subculture?? i have no idea lol.

if i had to put myself in any one group i'd say the tech / hacker subculture, i'm obsessed with tech.

Back in the day I was really into the whole punk thing - the shows, the bands, the politics, etc. The Clash, Plasmatics, Exploited, Sex Pistols, Social Unrest, Gang Of Four, etc were a few of the scenes I was into.

Hey! I was wondering where you got off to. Haven't seen you in a while. How you been?

I have always been obsessed with 90's rave music! Have been since I was 11... never listem to anything else

I was a bit of a punk back in the 80's...now, I'm still different, but have adapted to be as normal as possible most of the time. I still wear some funky clothes when I am out and about in the US, but not as much where I live, as people here are a bit rude when you don't dress like the rest. My music taste is much more varied than it was before as well.

Not really, no. I guess you could say whatever group the stoner burnouts were if anything but none of those other high school cliques/subcultures/whatever were particularly accepting of me, more like wearing a uniform for some. On my own.

I have troubles with subculture, because I assume it still involves "fitting in" and conforming to a social norm. I don't understand that. Every kind of group people tell me is relevant to me - ASD, recovery, LGBT groups - I still display variations from the prescribed formula required to fit into these groups.

The truth movement, libertarianism, holistic/alternative medicine.

Exactly. I've always felt this applies especially to the idea of being 'Cool', which seems to me to revolve around CONFORMITY to peer-group approved standards of fashion, attitudes, behaviour and so on.

People can be rude here to, Me and pretty much anyone I hang around has a rather alternative appearance of some sort and people sometimes like to make rude/nasty comments. But yeah I see no reason to go out of my way to satisfy them...as for my music taste I am mostly into metal but certainly don't limit myself to that.
