One aspect of present-day counterculture that differentiates it from the past is the lack of focus on individualism. Individualism as culture has been sold back to us so often its relevance is necessarily less important now. Which may be another reason why it is difficult to find. It's also genuinely more scary than a loner in a leather jacket, in front of his car, selling rock and roll, hamburgers and Coke. In the past it was easier because the the counterculture was easy to find - follow the well-worn path of individualism to the last corners of censored culture. Now that those paths are almost entirely explored, finding a different, more inspired counterculture is much more difficult.
