Dear Answerwebs:

[ewt]

Do you consider yourself part of a subculture? Geek culture? Goth culture? Weird culture?

How would you explain your culture to an extremely intelligent and open-minded but rather sheltered person, of a generation older than you are? What would you say? What would you show them, what music would you play to them, what would you tell them to read, if they wanted to understand your culture better?

Just curious...

Nope. I actually get the minor arse on with people who assume I am. TBH the scraggly Robert Smith-ish hair and many piercings probably don't help me much. I went through a short (relative to the rest of my life) goth phase, but was frankly crap at it. 10 years on I still get referred to as 'Bob the Goth' by too many people for comfort.

I appreciate this is probably of no use to you but I guess it might be slightly relevant. I guess many people try to associate with a specific culture, I actively try not to :)
