I think it’s just that counterculture almost always becomes the mainstream eventually. Tattoos, leather jackets and motorcycles used to be cool counterculture. Now they’re trendy. It does feel like we’ve descended into monoculture. Though, maybe that’s because those in the counterculture aren’t showing off and are hard to spot, unlike hippies and bikers. Counterculture is still alive and well I’m sure. Just hidden amongst the noise of our hyper signal to noise ratio reality.
