not including hippies, what are examples of counter culture?

Answer 1

Goths. Punks.

Answer 2

There are many, in fact one could say that there are many subcultures that , that's really all we have.

Rasta / Hippie culture is of course famous from the 60's and lives on with the Phish and Greatful Dead fans.

Hip-Hop Culture - Urban music, lifestyle, gang ethics can very easily be considered a distinct counter-culture.

Rock/Metal Counter Culture with subgroups in the areas of
-- "Goth" - Gothic culture
-- Punk movement of the late 70's to mid 80's
-- Industrial rock movement

This is closely related to a separate culture regarding technology
- Hacker culture - strong advocates of education and free inquiry, libertarian in its' general view of government, rights of the individual and distain for corporatocracy and generally militarism.

A counter/counter cultural movement sprung up around Grunge which could be considered a 1990's variant to the the Hippie movement.

Millenialists or survivalists or end-timers - While not a coherent group as such they generally believe that the "End" is near and are either preparing or prepared for a physical armageddon type event.

Both the militantly liberal and/or conservative elements of the US political spectrum have really become so ossified as to be practically consided subcultures unto themselves.

Sexually speaking there are definite subcultures
-- The more radical elements or members of the gay community certainly hold a value set/ethic which may not be considered completely in line with mainstream society. (young men who seek to become HIV+,acceptance of predatory behaviors, acceptance of drug use etc).
- The BDSM subcultures - consenting adults doing what most people only imagine ad Marquee de Sade wrote the book on.
- Pedophile subculture - it's unfortunate and dangerous but it does exist.

Answer 3

Before the hippies there were the beatniks. In more recent times there have been goths. The term counter culture does not mean non-conformists. It describes a group of people who go against the "norms" of the traditional culture of their society.

Answer 4

Beats, rastas, skinheads, bdsm, body modification enthusiasts, trekkies, furries, (hip hop was at one point, but has become a major part of the dominant culture), rednecks, the Omish, mods, punks, goths, L337 haXX0ors, etc.

They often have an acceptable range of dress and behaviors, same as the mainstream culture. Just the different tribes that humans belong to.

Answer 5

Any individual who isn't afraid to stray from the rest of the lemmings or sheep. So, in my opinion, people who still label themselves (e.g., goth, punk, hippie, etc...) are still conforming to something other than just being a unique individual.

Answer 6

Those dang nab emus.
