Counter-culture

Several years ago, were young people dressing differently than they behaved in a way unconventional in almost every aspect of their life. They are groups that disagree with the traditional way of behaving, thinking and being: are the urban tribes.

The counterculture is a urban tribe that express their selfs with movements. Their feelings get different meanings and ways to see it. They want to confront and transcend the mainstream and be part of a group.

The counter-culture comes because within each culture there are differences that are given by age, socioeconomic status, social class, ethnicity, etc. That is why the coutercultures take origin in the cultures.

The counterculture movements emerge as an opposition to consumer society and in the totalitarian control of the state in where individual liberty is the affected.

The term originated in the counterculture of the postwar era in the United States emerged as a rebellion against the so-called "stable men": conservative patriots were over 35 years, whose mentality is often contrasted violently with the countercultural movements such as hippie, punk, cholos and others.

Well as many intellectuals of the generation of the "onda", who are those who lived his youth in the 60's, these people realized that the urban tribes were more than Cultures, and this discovery or thought were counterculture.
