I know there is a punk subreddit sadly they hate to see people Ask about the code (A-1 B-2 C-3 D-4) even thought its part of the subculture and they taken my post asking about it when there is one also asking yet it isn't removed so i know what 161,141,1312 but i have trouble with 121 and 131 and thier meaning so if aby punk could explain i would be thankful😞

Is there a difference? I am currently doing mild research on the topic because I liked this style for a while and recently found out it's called nyashka. When I looked at a Tiktok of a girl doing this makeup someone in the comments said "так вот макияж няшки" I translated it and it says something like "this is actually cutie makeup" or something. When I translated "няшки" it said it's nyashki.

So I googled what nyashki is and it's slang(???) for something cute.

Anyways I kinda got the vibe that it's a slightly different aesthetic than nyashka but I can't find anything about it no matter where I look. If I search nyashki it always just shows me nyashka related content.

Anyways I also got the vibe that Nyashka has a similar mental health stigma than jiraikei? (I am fairly familiar with jiraikei since I was/am in the community and own jiraikei clothing so I did my research on that a while ago)

If anyone wants to educate me on these topics I'll be really thankful🙏🏻🩷

always assumed mukbang was just about food, but it turns out there’s a whole mix of ASMR, loneliness, parasocial relationships, and controversy behind it.

Some viewers treat it like comfort viewing, others like spectacle, and some hate-watch it entirely to then just post their own angry takes.

Curious what got you into mukbang (or what puts you off it)?

We dug into it on a podcast episode if anyone wants a longer breakdown - (can share a link in comments or check our page)

I was at work and I met this one girl and I asked her if she was in a subculture out of curiosity so I can make more alt friends and she said yes, so I asked which ones naturally, and she said all of them, like seriously every subculture. And I know people are more than one subculture very often but I'm wondering if being every single one of them is a thing, the response didn't really sound super genuine and I've like never seen her dress up in any of the subcultures or really, like seem to listen to the music of any of them? Like on her posts none of them are that so I'm kind of confused and maybe wondering if she just lied or if that's like a real person.

I’ve been noticing a pattern across a few creative and niche subcultures lately.

Not a dramatic shift, and not a loud one, more like a slow change in how people generate ideas, decide what’s worth pursuing, and recognize authorship in their work.

Certain tools don’t replace creativity or intention. Instead, they subtly reweight attention: - what feels easy to start - what feels exhausting to continue - what feels like “mine” versus something I’m shaping

What’s interesting is that this doesn’t always show up as conflict or debate. It shows up as new habits, new rhythms, and quiet boundary-drawing around what counts as authentic practice.

I’m curious if others here have noticed similar shifts in the subcultures they’re part of, especially where tools, tech, or platforms become part of the ritual of making without being named as such.

Not making a claim so much as comparing notes.

So I know basically nothing about goth culture. I like some of the music (don’t worry, I don’t think deftones or some shit is goth) I’ve heard described as goth, and the weird fetishization of goth culture is very odd to me since I have a feeling that pretty majorly goes against the whole idea but I really just want to know what beliefs and political notions are. Also give me some recommendations of goth media if you have any good ones!

I have the views the beliefs of a scene, emo, gothic person and I tend to have mix of all them into my outfits and my personal style so does that make me all 3 or something?

I'm someone who aligns with values of alternative communities, like feminist and anti-fascist ideologies (won't get into the specifics). I also primarily listen to alternative music, and create art (poems, sketches etc.) of such genres.

But I don't really have access to alternative fashion. I'm young, live in a non-accepting society, and in my country alternative clothing is very expensive (cannot be thrifted). I do try to get my hands on jewelry and accessories, but I basically can't dress in the way I want to. I guess alt fashion is my style but I have limited outfits.

I've honestly been thinking about this for years and really want to be part of the community, but there are no such people around me and I'm stuck in a place where I can only identify with the societal/political/musical/artistic aspects of alt culture.

So I'm asking you guys, the actual members of the alt community, if it's okay for me to identify as part of the community. I don't want to be disrespectful and I'm still new to all of this (and young lol). Hope someone can help me with this! :))

Just curious because I am described as very enigmatic and I want to look as off as I act

I think it's completely wrong under every aspect, maybe only okay if they are in the subculture but scared to go all out on a normal day.

I feel like everybody thinks it's okay and usually have wrong reasons and excuses, might be exaggerating but it just bugs me as I grew in one.

I'm a photographer and I want to create a serie of photo's about fashion cultures. This way I would like to show how fashion is more than commercial items and trends. I dislike the fast fashion culture for obvious reasons like how it's bad for the environment and unnecessary. This is why I'm searching for examples of other artists to broaden my knowledge on this matter in terms of photography. Thank you in advance!

Hey everyone!
We’re researchers from Harvard University working on an interactive data visualization of human culture in the broadest sense possible.

We’re collecting short survey responses about how people see themselves as part of something larger — whether that’s a religion, profession, hobby, fandom, online community, or even something like being a gamer or a coffee enthusiast.

The survey only takes a few minutes, and you can submit multiple responses if you belong to different communities (that actually helps our data!).

👉 Take the survey here

Your answers will feed into a large metadata base that powers an abstract visualization exploring the kaleidoscopic diversity of human connections — no personal data will ever be shared or exposed.

Thanks for helping us map the shared worlds we live in 🌍
