The diffrence between Subcultures and countercultures is that subcultures are not nessicarily trying to opposse another cultures beliefs and try to snuff it out of pop culture, where as a counterculture explicitly tries to do this. Subcultures are just a meeting of people with similiar likes, that are not within the mainstream culture.
The image above is representing Counterculture because it is trying to oppose something that is mainstream
This is an image of a subculture because it is a variant of skateboarding that enthusiasts partake in, but they are not trying to oppose or refute skateboarding in any way.

You made a good description with both of these pictures, epically the counterculture about Marijuana because i would never have thought that it could be considered along the lines of a counterculture. The second one about skateboarding as a subculture is good example. I used skateboarding as my examples for a subculture and fits perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on your ideas of counterculture and subculture, except that subculture doesn't have to be a meeting of people to be a subculture it can be many different people that don't even know eachtother but they all share that similar interest that makes them be a subculture, for an examply Lady Gaga fans are all around the world and they do not know all of on another but they are still that subculture.
