There are plenty of active counter cultures. Even in America you have evangelicals, fundamentalist LDS, Amish & Quakers, "off-grid / preppers", Orthodox Jews & Conservative Islam, atheistic/materialistic guru cult communities, pseudo-religious "leadership" seminar cults, etc. In Europe you have traditionalist and nationalistic groups, farming communities, monastic communities, communes and more (about which i'm less familiar). Contemporary society is distinct for having a global mainstream monoculture propagated by a universal media enterprise, which gives the impression of a uniform global culture. Former bastions of counter culture like universities, museums , art galleries, local theaters now parrot the mainstream cultural zeitgeist. Moreover, mainstream adherents denigrate any counter cultural movement as "extremism". In the past we cultivated a diffused & distributed society with localized communities that were capable of sustaining & highlighting distinct cultural trends. Often I think the counter culture can be sought out, but too many people find it convenient to tap into the mainstream culture and believe counterculture has been snuffed out. Give it a shot.
