it kind of depends on what we mean by culture. I go for the simple idea - the minimum set of cohesion forming ideas, norms and practises for an group to self identify as a group.
the smaller this set becomes the harder it is to "counter" it. And the stronger the culture has a grip on power the more counter-culture must fight.
the US led counter culture in 1960s took on enormous entrenched power in Western world - and mostly it "won".
With the advent of social media the idea of a common cultural set is broken - we don't all watch the same TV the same songs, but we have the same government
So our common culture battlefield is less over art and more over courts and legislation.
