(@)(@) {0,0} Is there even such a thing
(~~~~) ./)_) as "mainstream" anymore? I
(>vv<) " " 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.
