It's True,all These Subcultures Are Now Used For The Aesthetic,but When They First Started They Actually

It's true,all these subcultures are now used for the aesthetic,but when they first started they actually were a movement,a way to fight back against society through fashion and most importantly,actitude.

I was thinking recently about how "alt" subcultures are so aestheticized now but they used to be much more about your societal views than the clothes you wore or even the bands you listened to, and my brain connected some dots. Idk if this is anything

A four-box chart where the top two sections are labeled "angry" and "depressed," and the right two sections are labeled "active" and "subversive." Above the chart it says "society sucks..." The angry and active box says "so I'm going to fight the system (punk)." Depressed and active says "and I'll make sure my pain is heard (emo)." Angry subversive says "so I'm opting out of societal expectations (grunge)." Depressed subversive says "but my pain is beautiful, in its own way (goth)."
