The author has a good use of language but so many things they say seem very off. They seem overly fixated on the idea that counter-culture also has to be progressive. They are weirdly fixated on some aspects of internet culture. The main take away I have is that this author doesn't really seem to understand culture, what is counter culture, or internet culture. They are right that instagram isn't counter cultural, But honestly the real counter culture things are just offline.
- ulizzle 3y agoYeah, that was my same take. To be counter-culture, according to this article, you have to be a progressive furry goth hacker, who prays to St. Greta of Climate Change and Karl Marx, puts pronouns in their bios, and moonlights as an Antifa every once in a long while. That's been mainstream for a while. There are plenty of counter-cultures out there online; but because the author leans left, they are blind to them. Likely, the author doesn't even think of it as culture, like how "white people don't have culture."
