Cryptozoology (Zoology 🦥)
Cryptozoology is a pseudoscience and subculture that searches for and studies unknown, legendary, or extinct animals whose present existence is disputed or unsubstantiated, particularly those popular in folklore, such as Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, Yeti, the chupacabra, the Jersey Devil, or the mokele-mbembe. Cryptozoologists refer to these en...

You can't be #goth, or any other form of #alternative, either. These #subcultures were BUILT by #queer people, #POCs, #trans people, #women! Being a #bigot inherently makes you part of the #establishment. Which is EXACTLY what these subcultures are against. #Fascists of all kinds, FUCK OFF!

"The magazine’s politics were what passes for center-left in the United States. […] The operating orthodoxy was that police killings, CIA coups, black site torture, and institutional misogyny were aberrations, deviations from the American norm that would eventually be corrected when the arc of the moral universe, long as it is, finally got around to them."

A conversation amongst #Kpop fans included this mention of the variety of fans and the importance of inclusivity and mutual respect in the fandom here on Mastodon - qualities sorely lacking in some other Kpop spaces.
Anyway, that part of the conversation reminded me of the history of inclusivity and mutual respect, which in turn set me thinking about religious "toleration" in early modern European history, which in turn reminded me of the Edict of Torda in the Transylvania of 1568:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edict_of_Torda
I was going to finish there with a pronouncement of "There's a lot more to Transylvania than Dracula!" which is true, but, on reflection, a bad note on which to end because it sounds smug and condescending.
Yes, early modern history is fascinating, anybody who can visit Transylvania should do so, and "toleration" deserves much attention from both a historical and philosophical point of view - but shouldn't I be more alive to today's interest in vampirism and to goth subcultures ? Shouldn't I remember that, in the words of @pixelcats, "all ways of stanning are valid" and that includes the stanning of Transylvania too?
From Kpop to C16 Torda and back again!

A recent discussion about #inclusivity on one of the goth groups I follow got a bit heated, and the admins pulled the plug. Okay, it happens. Hardly anyone wants people screaming at each other in their virtual living room.
Every subculture I've ever been part of has had the same problem. #Punk, #goth, #science #fiction #fandom, #hackerdom, maybe a few I'm not thinking of at the moment.
#Subcultures are *in general* more accepting and inclusive than society as a whole, yes. People who are seen as weird and scary by the #mainstream find groups of other people who have had the same experience. This leads to groups that welcome refugees of all kinds. All to the good.
Then the idea becomes part of the group's identity. Instead of understanding that people in the group tend to be more tolerant than others because of their experiences, they start assuming that being part of the group automatically *makes* them less prejudiced.
"We can't be racist / sexist / etc., that's a mundane problem!" So when these "mundane" #bigotries turn up in the subculture, as they *inevitably* do, they get swept under the rug.
Yeah, well, you can be, and very often you are. Face it. Deal with it. Be better than the people who made your life hell. Or at the very least, stop acting so hurt and surprised when you get called on your own brand of bullshit.

"Based on an analysis of 300k opening posts to the popular image-based discussion forum r/PoliticalCompassMemes, in this paper we offer an empirical analysis of how the ‘political compass’ meme template is used to playfully work out speculative political imaginaries that reconfigure existing ideologies into niche political subcultures. We observe various dynamics over time, including how participants self-identify with different ‘quadrants’ of the compass via meme characters and ‘flair’ metadata. To analyze these dynamics, we revisit a classic argument of the ‘Birmingham School’ of culture studies, concerning the latent relationship between revolutionary politics and youth subcultural styles. While finding value in the latter, we identify a fundamental shift in digital political subcultures from style as a proxy for politics to politics as a kind of style."

How do you show your social value in a way that’s instantly recognizable?
"The meaning ascribed to race in the nightclub setting was related to perceptions of safety. The bouncers (many of whom are Black or Latino) claimed that letting Black or Latino Americans in might jeopardize safety at the club. However, Rivera says she saw fights between white customers frequently."

"The subculture lifecycle is a problem only from a geek perspective. As far as mops [members of the public] are concerned, it provides reliable, low-cost waves of novelty entertainment and casual social relationships. As far as sociopaths are concerned, it generates easily-exploited pools of prestige, sex, power, and money."

Today was an interesting array of #ideas and #art. This Hideous Replica at RMIT Gallery #Melbourne had some interesting ideas of reimagining #subcultures on the #web and fashioning new flags to represent #anarchic ideologies & sub genres...
Across onsite galleries and offsite spaces, the work of eight artists and collectives traverses the totally absurd and camp to serious and techy, decoding cultural sticking points that technology brings with it.

‘Xennials: The Last Analog Generation’ is a fascinating podcast, using the 1990s as a lens on our world today - from Globalisation to online culture.
I joined host Charlotte Kan for the new episode - to talk Ecstasy, irony, subcultures, Beck, the Berlin Wall, & generational schisms.

“let’s start with the definition of subculture. It is not adversarial. #Subcultures are simply social groupings within a larger societal system. They form as a response to tensions within #society. Their divergence results in an organic social #cohesion of subsets where people share similar codes of behavior and ideologies. It is the place where people begin to evolve a common #language.” https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/subculture-its-definition-obstacle-problem-solving-scenariodna-hpohe?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios&utm_campaign=share_via

My anti #Poptimism, continued-
But we shouldn't forget that #GothMagazines of old were often just giving descriptions of Albums & Singles, not real reviews much less negative ones.
Let's avoid looking back at the past with rose tinted lenses.

💀 Goth’s undead! The dark return of Britain’s spookiest subculture 💀
«But if goth feels suddenly back, it never really went away, eternally lurking in a teenage bedroom somewhere: unavoidable in recent years alone in the black tears of Billie Eilish, in Coronation Street storylines about goth Nina Lucas, in Noel Fielding’s comedy-horror jumpers on Bake Off … What’s the enduring appeal?»

@firstadopter #experience is that 10,000.00 hours theory. Works for some. #credentials is verification through an artificial construct that MAY validate someone's knowledge or application of. One issue is that such demonstrations do not bode well for #NeuroDivergent , all #SocialEconomicClasses , all #cultures #subcultures . Best to find other methods as well as the two mentioned. Any ideas?

Hello everyone!
I am currently an #MA student in #journalism at #OxfordBrookes University in #Oxford (UK)!
As a journalist, I focus on #China's #subcultures and #indiemusic communities. Most of my work can be found at chinatemper.com.
When not writing, I enjoy #poledancing, #travelling, exploring China’s #craft #beer industry, rocking out at music gigs, learning new things, and studying #Mandarin #Chinese and its #dialects.
✌️ ❤️ 🍻 -
Fun with slides. This week we're discussing #geeks and subcultural scenes in #China by using texts from https://chaoyang.substack.com/ to explore different #publics, #counterpublics, #cultures, #subcultures, and #affectivepublics. I appreciate when books have malleable and distinctive covers to play with -journal articles need better art (see again, Chaoyang Trap).

Hey all! I am a self described #feralresearch -er (see bio for link), #artist, #designer, recovering #academic and internet old person.
I write, teach, lecture about and build things (software mostly, hardware sometimes) that overlap technology and culture, #digitalscenography and #narrative and #performance. I am currently senior systems #designer for #vrchat. I am occasionally (and professionally) a fox on the internet (#queer subcultures will save what’s left of us)
Most recently I am working on #maps and #mapping software for #dh and beyond, a locative #ar project about the history of #MTV, and #digitalphotography and image-making, especially in VR.
