counter-culture

A misleading term coined by the music industry and MTV to trick gullible, angsty teenagers into a false sense of rebellion, either against "mainstream" music scenes, society, or at least their parents.

Counter-cultures can range from obscure and "underground" (also another industry trick word) to being popular and mainstream.

When a counter-culture becomes mainstream (such as grunge in the 90's and most recently, emo), it is still marketed as being against the mainstream although music acts of that genre might be flying off the charts. Of course this leads to the more elitist counter-culturists who follow a counter-culture just to impress their friends by following obscure, unpopular and/or cult-favorite music acts.

Common examples of counter-cultures (both mainstream and underground):
Reggae
Punk(that includes you "hardcore" punk types. Don't give me any "but I'm a TRUE Punk because I hate Avril and pop-punk" bullshittery)
Ska
Emo
Raver music
Grunge
Nu Metal
Indie
Techno
Gangsta Rap
Any other offshoot of Punk or Metal in general.

Let me be to the point here:
You're not unique.
You're not profound.
You're not original.

You're a sheep that follows a smaller herd. That's all. I'm not any better but at least I realise it instead of being arrogant to people about my music preferences.

Cancel Culture

The dangerous idea that disagreement legitimizes attack.

Cancel Culture is on full display in the riots of 2020. The rioters are burning down cities and nothing is being done about it. Many Mayors are sympathetic to the rioters' grievances, so there is no response to the violence. In the meantime, business owners who have paid millions in taxes over the years to the government for protection are seeing their businesses destroyed.

corporate culture

The rules, regulations, and unwritten policy for a corporation, the way it treats its employees, allowing them to dress a certain way or have certain events to their benefit.
This was changed to make people feel better about the restraints put on them at work.

It's not corporate policy, it's our corporate culture.

Cancel Culture

A fucking shit way of holding someone accountable, but leaves no room for change. It's so fucking leftist and makes everything worse, and they pick up everything you say that they think is racist, xenophobic, homophobic, etc, and they use it as if you're this satanic individual that needs to be cast into hell.

Fuck Cancel Culture; it is so shit.
