- 1反文化、反主流文化
Counterculture is the art, clothes, music, beliefs, and daily habits of people who push against what most of society calls normal. It is not just “being different.” It is a whole way of living that says the usual way is wrong, empty, or unfair. People often use it for the 1960s — long hair, protest, new music — but the word still works for later groups who refuse the mainstream. It is a noun for the scene as a whole, not for one song or one T-shirt. Though actually, newspapers stretch it: they may call any youth fashion “counterculture” even when it is just a style, not a fight with society. The stronger use keeps that against-the-usual feeling.
組成From counter- (against) + culture. Culture here came from French culture, from Latin cultura.
