"The birth of #cool
Before there is a #subculture, there is a #scene. A scene is a small group of creators who invent an exciting #NewThing—a musical genre, a religious sect, a film animation technique, a political theory. Riffing off each other, they produce examples and variants, and share them for mutual enjoyment, generating positive energy.
The new scene draws #fanatics. Fanatics don’t create, but they contribute energy (time, money, adulation, organization, analysis) to support the #creators."

Was für ein toller Abend gestern im Alten Volksbad Mannheim.

Volles Haus, erstklassige Stimmung und so viele liebe Menschen um einen herum 🖤❤️

Vielen Dank für Euren Support, die netten Gespräche im Anschluss und die ganzen Hugs 😉

Lieben Dank an brandherd für die Möglichkeit, Teil dieses Abends zu sein und an die mega sympathischen THE CUTTER ( UK), die das Alte Volksbad dann vollends zum Pulsieren gebracht haben

Subculture and Counterculture Explained: How Small Groups Shape Society and Identity

Not everyone fits the mold—and maybe that’s the point. This thought-provoking piece explores the hidden worlds of subcultures and countercultures, where identity is shaped, norms are questioned, and some choose not just to stand apart—but to push back. How far would you go to live by your own truth?

Ha ha ha .... sehr cool ...... meine erste selbstgegründete Band "The COOPERZ" (1992-93) ... wir hatten drei eigene Songs und einen Live-Auftritt im August 1993 an der Burg in Kempen/Niederrhein. Mit der Sängerin und dem Bassisten habe ich bis heute noch Kontakt :)

This ambiguation on #mastodon hasttags is a double-edge sword. Yes, when I follow the #gnome #hasttag It's because I wanna see both the creature and the desktop environment.
But when I search for #scene I get #cinema stuff and not the #subculture/#counterculture.
"Oh, you can specify by using #scenemo." Yes, but it'll get me stuff that is in a blend of scene and emo and I want things SPECIFICALLY scene.
Oh, and the you search for the scenemo hasttag you get nothing.

So I guess I'm stuck with the broad term that is #emo.
