About The Alterniverse
The Alterniverse is, for me, the network of worlds that exist within our world. These are the subcultures, the punks, the goths, the metalheads, the rappers, the emos, the yuppies, the trendies etc…
What is a subculture?
According to the all-knowing Wikipedia, a subsculture is:
“In Sociology , anthropology and cultural studies , a subculture is a group of people with a culture (whether distinct or hidden) which differentiates them from the larger culture to which they belong. “
This definition is, of course, rather all-encompassing and covers a wide range of societal trends, most prevalent among the youth of a society or community.
Urban tribes and the decline of individuality
Sub cultures, by their very definition and nature, are the antithesis of the individual, contrary to the beliefs of many of their adherents. The individual is absorbed into a larger community, a collection of people with similar views and beliefs.
The point of the Alterniverse
This blog is going to be dedicated to the analysis of subcultures as a whole, with a distinct focus on the so-called “alternative” cultures, Goth, Punk, Metal, Emo.. so on and so-forth.
I will be looking at the beliefs, the rituals, the customs and the music of these, and other, groups, from their beginnings until today.
Navigating the Alterniverse
As you read this, allow your eyes to drift off to the left there… You see there are two columns? Well, the one on the far left is where you will find the navigation for the pages of this blog. The Column that sits slightly closer? That’s where you will find the Category navigation. Explore these bars and who knows what other spiffy things you might find!!
Commenting
If you are going to comment on any of the posts on this blog, please, if I may ask, subscribe to the follow-up comments by clicking the little box under the comment box. You know? The one that says something along the line of, “notify me of follow-up comments by email.” The reason for this is that I’m tired of people dropping their contrary opinions on me, but never having the guts to come back and read the reply. If you want a debate, I’m more than happy to give you one, but lets actually make I a debate please, not just an arrow shot from the dark void of your mind.
Thank you for reading!

HAVE WE A REMEMBRANCE FOR ENDING THE ANIMALS WHO IGNORANTLY SWIM IN THEIR OWN SELFISH SOUND, KILL THE KEEPER OF THE KANGAROO ZOO AND REMIND THOSE LIVING IN AMBIGUITY HOW WE SURVIVING SEEKERS OF RIGHTEOUS LIVING DEEM AUSTRAILIAN HOPEFULNESS THE REDEMPTION OF OUR PEOPLE. NO MORE TORTURE? NO MORE SLAVERY? HOW ABOUT: “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH” AND RIDICULE THOSE WHO DREAM. IS MARIJUANA ENOUGH TO REPAIR OUR FUTURE THROUGH THE PRACTICE OF MASS SUICIDE?
