Is there even such a thing as
|
|
"mainstream" anymore? I mean it used to
|
|
be the case that everybody watched the
|
|
same nightly news and listened to the
|
|
same radio station. And
|
|
"counterculture" was growing your hair
|
|
long and listening to rock and roll.
|
|
Now the duality of mainstream vs.
|
|
counterculture seems as quaint as the
|
|
idea that there are only two genders or
|
|
only two sexes. Kids don't listen to
|
|
rock & roll to rebel, they listen to
|
|
soundcloud emo rap, or whatever, and if
|
|
the niche sound that speaks directly to
|
|
them doesn't exist, they can invent it
|
|
and upload it for the world to hear
|
|
with little more than a cheap laptop.

At the other end of the LONG TAIL of
|
|
the internet is a metaphorical infosec
|
|
furry, and because of them there are as
|
|
many small STREAMS and countercultures
|
|
as there are individual people.
