Wonder what "counterculture" is these days?
- cmrdporcupine 3y agoI think we've actually hit the world the postmodernist theorists of the 1980s/1990s talked about where culture as a whole is so diffuse and decentered that speaking about counterculture is mostly meaningless. The market can provide any "experience" you want. So there's really no single mainstream dominant focus to be "counter" to. In the 90s I had to hunt for all the "alternative" media I could get my hands on (in record stores, book stores, conventions, clubs, etc. etc), now it can play out on your phone after about 30 seconds of searching.
