What about counterculture?

Counterculture has and always will be a part of the human society. To me, it is a way to express individuality or for people to share their similar interests. There are various countercultures made up all over the world and each has its own unique identity and groups. It can be a past group, such as the hippies, or it can be something more present such as the “hip hoppers” and the “rockers.”

Hippies were a part of the 1960s counterculture and they had their belief in world peace. They had large celebrations, one being the Woodstock Festival which was large enough to make history. The hippies had a style of their own; rose colored glasses were common among the style. They also used certain drugs to get a “high” in life or to feel peaceful. As for the current hip hop group, they listened to hip hop of course. It was a certain genre in music and it attracts a certain type of audience. This hip hop culture had a “so-called” association with gang violence. The hip hoppers’ styles tend to be loose, baggy clothing for the males and with the females, it varies from extra tight to loose fit clothing. When it comes to the rockers, they had their taste in the rock genre of music and those outside the likes of rock considered the music “dark music.” Their style in clothing mainly revolved around chains, all black fabric from head to toe, and wild hair. Excessive piercings are also another distinguishable part of the rocker group.

The three countercultures mentioned above were just some of the many examples here in this world. Not only is it just in America, but it expands out to every city, state, country, and continent here on earth. The various countercultures are examples of the uniqueness we hold here on earth.
