alternative culture discourse is bullshit

Alternative subcultures are music based (and moral based when it comes to punk-based music.) It's hard for people to grasp that, somehow, and pointless discourse spins it's way back onto the more popular social media platforms every so often. For example, someone who wears perfectly normal clothes and doesn't dress up is just as alternative as someone who wears corpse paint and spikes- if they both listen to the same artists and have the same music tastes. I've also had so many people claim to me that alternative people can't be in more than one subculture, or else they're "posers," which isn't true. I can listen to Drowning Pool one moment and then listen to Fugazi the next and that still won't change how I dress, or what my morals are, or even what shows I go to.
