I was thinking about what Gabe brought up in class today about the idea that subcultures often still use ideals of mainstream such as gender roles and racism and what-not.
I thought that was a very interesting thought because the purpose of subcultures is generally resistance to aspects of mainstream. While thinking about this idea, I came up with two questions:
1) Do you think that subcultures would be more of a threat if they resisted more of the main aspects of mainstream culture such as gender-roles, racism, and exclusivity?
2) Do you think that it is even possible to have a type of subculture that can challenge fundamental ideas such as those? Or are those ideals too fundamental to challenge?
