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.
