    I'm not sure what some of those are, but the ones that I knew and applied to me, I voted for.

    I'm in all of them...

    I think part of being a truly rounded insane psychonaut is from time to time utterly embracing a random subculture, adopting the mindset and way of life - relaly devouring it...then moving on...
    Every one of us is every kind of subculture, somewhere inside, we just generally block out the vast majority and only let a few surface and mix to create our image. I've long enjoyed trying to break down all those blocks, letting every 'sub'-me represent itself as part of the whole in one way or another.

    I don't like to be put in a subculture, I prefer to take the best from everything and add something of my own to it. But if I really have to say something, errr..something in between a hippie and a indierock girl. :)

    When you go to a school with uniforums, subcultures really don't matter. I don't think I'm part of any particlar one but I'm into alot of them. I take infulences from punk, emo, goth, hippies, and geeks and have alot of stuff. I guess the people i hang out with could be called goth but really do these labels really matter. It seems odd to say "I am ***", that is rather limiting.

    i'm a subculture of one. hippie is close but maybe no entire cegar either.
    alternative everything everything non or near it.
    the only legitimate tradition is an indiginous tradition
    ecotopian dentetsu otaku ...
    mellowness is its own heavin
    austentation is its own hell
    and aggressiveness (along with belligerance, fanatacism, chauvanism, economic and idiological prejudice and all their little cousins) IS a form of austentation (and also the most harmful and distructive force in all of existence)
    as is emo and a bunch of that other um stuff (just a form of austentation, not the evil part of it entirely or particularly, goth was cool, if well, rather dead)
    and so called right wing ism is just plain nutso
    (i refuse to call it conservative when it destroys more then it conserves of anything)

    My friends consider me as an Emo, cuz I like wearing black so much, I get depressed alot, and cuz I cut myself (FYI, I don't cut myself. I carve. There's a difference. Cutting is when you're just cutting lines in yourself. Carving is actually something besides lines. Anyways, it was just a heart. And it was just on my wrist. And I did it lightly, unlike some of my other friends [who used to cute themselves but not no more] who actually do it all hard, they bleed. I use staples, they use needles when they don't have staples.)

    What is "chav"? Is "trendy" a subculture?

    You forgot raver, clubkid, goth, skater, surfer, rainbow, nerd, biker, gangbanger, swinger, and carny.

    I don't personally PLACE myself into a subculture, but people often think of me as a nerd or a hippie.

    Yeah I'm not part of a sub-culture really. I don't think that people have been labeling me much lately, but I used to be seen as a nerd. I still am kinda nerdy in that I do well at school and such, but I don't play computer games incessantly or anything like that.

    Yeah, what is Mod, Chav, or Emo? What about those gamers.

    I've been a cowboy (rodeo! not drugstore/rhinestone, or punchy) most of my life, but now I have hippy beliefs. I'm an environmentalist, health nut, swinger, and I can be nerdy. In appearance, I don't look hippy, but I do believe that it is beneficial to appear a certain way in order to be able to find a like minded mate.

    soaring eagle said it ;)

    really, one would be hard fucking pressed to find someone in this town who is like me, shares the same values or looks anything like me. i do not fit in at all.
    i dont really think hippie is a sub-culture. there are so many different kinds (subcultures if you will) of hippies... i think its kinda fun to label them (in jest of course, it can suck to be seriously labeled and have to put up with all sorts of stupid preconcieved notions people have about your "subculture". not that theres anything you can do about it... and isnt that sort of the point of a subculture? is it? anyway...)
    i also believe that it must be near impossible to not belong to a subculture of some sort. i can think of a few, but only a few people i know who definitly do not.
    hmm i wonder if that all made sense. prolly not.
    i was talking with my totaly non-hippie best friend the other day and we were listing the different kinds of hippie. i think ill start a new thread about that and see where everyone fits in hehe
