If your culture is well-known enough and seen as desirable enough that you start having to no-true-scotsman to differentiate between the corporate poseurs and the true believers, it's a pretty strong sign that you're not a counterculture anymore. People don't try to fake having low cultural status.

- thebooktocome 4y ago> People don’t try to fake having low cultural status. They do. One of the most successful directors of all time built his career telling stories about faking low cultural status. Perhaps that’s too abstract. But if people don’t fake low culture, then what is Hillbilly Elegy?
- YurgenJurgensen 4y agoThat's faking low financial or political status in order to obtain cultural status. If the rich and powerful are generally hated, you don't become popular by flaunting your wealth but by distancing yourself from it.
- goodpoint 4y ago> it's a pretty strong sign that you're not a counterculture anymore The very opposite.
