subculture



When I was asked to do the subculture photo shoot and article, the first thing I did was, be sure that I knew exactly what I was getting myself into.

definition - a subculture is a group of people with a culture (whether distinct or hidden) which differentiates them from the larger culture to which they belong.
 

hmmm I suppose that you could call tribal fusion bellydance a subculture of bellydance.
If that was the angle.


But then you get questions like, how do you live your life?
what do you eat?
what kind of clothes do you wear?
bla bla bla..... 
answer... you are either born a part of this type of subculture or not....
(the lines were definitely blurred as to what EXACTLY the subculture was that was being referred to) 
there...... earthy, love nature, vegetarian, beautiful things that mystify, music that moves the soul, decorations on oneself ,trees, with some edge .... but once again, thats just me.


The Doosh subculture.. he he he...


With science fiction fandom, teenybopper, steam punk, military brat, anarcho punk, cybergoth and bodybuilder in the list of KNOWN subcultures ANything could be added to that list!


Anyway,,, here are a few of the pics .... by Astrid Bradley photography
