#most time is spent at work now#*im American and know nothing of other country's subcultures obviously ig I'm just talking ab america#obviously you can Create digitally that's not the point#we haven't had the rise of a subculture not centered around anything digital since maybe the fashion of the middle 2000s but even that is#intricately connected to the rise of digital everything from phones to tamogachis to neopets#like probably the closest was the second resurgence of goth in the 90s#'wah you're not mentioning my very specific niche subculture' ok point out a subculture on the rise like punk & goth was in the 70s & 80s.#I'm not articulating this well#I'm not counting emo bc that was a slow emergence from goth in the mid to late 2000s and is also tied to the digitization of culture#but like what else is there. the rise in evangelicalism? tied to digitization bc that's how they reach half their audience#oh!!! maybe techno!!#altho that's more a music genre instead of a subculture#but really point out to me a subculture that was Bug And Different like goth & punk were in the 70s & 80s and folk music & goin granola were#in the 60s & 70s and the way flappers & their dance & club culture rose to prominence. like. where's the new subcultures babe#we're just stuck in a loop of infinite rerun reboot rerun reboot but culture too#look at how we're recycling 90s and 2000s looks now
