i mean subculture isn't really dead. there's still scenes both on and offline. they're just more fragmented, not as big, and not as symbiotic with what would once have been considered the "mainstream" culture.
yeah I exaggerate when I say dead, what I mean is something more like music subculture is no longer tightly linked with an everyday person's fashion sense and how they perceive of themselves, which used to be 90% of people
now being into music is itself the subculture and being into specific genres and wearing the clothes is a sub-subculture
corollary though: country music retains a music subculture because it's inextricably linked to white supremacist political projects now
