All things counterculture is a collective of ideas, perspectives, attitudes, memes, images, and other phenomena that are opposite of the popular or mainstream culture. This blog is an attempt to develop an understanding & appreciation of the counter culture and become an aggregator of sorts, for people interested in knowing about the counter culture in all aspects of life.
If dominant culture is based on hierarchy, power and competition, counter culture demands a world based on equality, democracy, cooperation & sharing as a way to live and work that could liberate.
If popular culture demands dumbing down to ensure mass acceptance, counter culture is a refresher because it makes us that much richer by presenting a new perspective.
So, are we experiencing counter culture in our daily life?
The recent Delhi elections is a proof of the existence of counter culture. The mainstream culture in politics is that of power and corruption. AAP fights for the causes of the common man which is a refresher in Indian politics dominated by netas who love power and make the most of it.
