Od subkultury do postsubkultury. Zmiany w obszarze dzisiejszej kultury alternatywnej
From Subculture To Postsubculture. Changes In Contemporary Alternative Culture

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of my article is to show the changes taking place in today’s alternative culture. As a result of these changes, the old, traditional terms, such as ‘subculture’ or ‘counterculture,’ lose their topicality and therefore should be replaced with new ones that would better reflect the current reality. New terms, which I define in this article – postsubcultures and neo-tribes – show the spectrum of contemporary alternative culture. The concept of post-subcultures refers to the fragmentation and fluidity of their nature, goals, and members’ identities. On the other hand, the concept of neo-tribes highlights the continued existence of the community, whose importance has not declined in spite of all the changes and the significance of individualism. This article adopts a mainly theoretical approach, but at the same time reveals the essence of the actual changes in contemporary alternative culture.
