This is a picture of a "goth." There is the subculture of goths who are usually younger people who dress in a lot of black and tend to idolize such poets as Keats and Shelly and seem to admire vampires and werewolves. This has become a popular subculture. I noticed while I was in middle school and throughout high school, people trying to find an identity that didn't really fit into any of the "social norms" like prep, jock, band member, or cheerleader, they seemed to go the exact opposite direction and went goth. I know there are true goth people out there who have their own set of morals and views, however, I noticed throughout my schooling, "goths," seemed to attempt to be different, but to me they all seem to look the same, exactly the opposite of what they were trying to do.
60's hippies were considered a counterculture because of them going against the social norm of the society of the time. They were into the marijuana movements, trying to go against the "man," or the government and rallying together to make their points heard! They are a counterculture because of them rebelling against the norm and what was socially acceptable at the time.
