Underground Cultures

Underground cultures refer to groups that develop outside mainstream society, often characterized by distinct styles, beliefs, and practices that challenge conventional norms. These cultures typically emerge as forms of self-expression, resistance, or alternative lifestyles, and include movements like punk, goth, skateboarding, or clandestine art scenes. They maintain their identity through unique aesthetics, music, language, and social practices, often fostering a sense of community among members. While not widely accepted or mainstream, underground cultures influence broader cultural trends and offer spaces for individual expression and societal critique.
