vaporwave's not a subculture, and if anything the music was made as an afterthought to a trend that started with Everything is Awful and Tim&Eric sketches, and eventually developed into "aesthetic blogs", and THEN people latched onto what Daniel Lopatin and Skeleton were doing. There's no "vaporwave lifestyle" or "vaporwave values" or "vaporwave uniform".
Cloud rap does, with the whole "sadboys" thing, and you could argue that vaporwave listeners kind of fall under the same umbrella, but it's not inherent to vaporwave.
Talk about hip-hop culture. The whole gangsta culture changed when Kanye West came into the game and made it more about riches and bitches instead of killin homies

punk
metal
industrial

This. Don't forget to mention Envelope Philter.
>>65224937
goths, emo, scene
>>65225022
thanks for ur help, its really easy to mix up genre and subculture :(
maybe my teacher wont notice....... but she probably will
ill probably account the whole fashion/aesthetic into it and maybe that'll convince her it's a subculture? idk
>>65225027
my class is based around zeitgeist (lmao) so it could be hard to do hip-hop and make it zetigeisty, but it's not like it's not still popular in 2016 so thanks :)
>>65225142
Or just pick something that's an actual subculture actually influenced by music and not the other way around.
>>65224937
>taking a course that is of the 'arts'
>professor who is super left
Well I'm not surprised
>>65224937
>that thicc and that flexible
RIP ma dick
would it be better to just focus on genre instead of subculture? what do u guys think is the difference between genre and subculture? i know they're totally different but how?
>>65224937
Fuken thicc
>>65225123
I'd say goths are a good example, because the original batcave goths were pretty much just New Wave dudes with more black clothes than the others, and since their music was about old and spooky shit, they progressively started taking themselves more (or less) seriously and getting into witchcraft and victorian shit.
>>65225217
how about you pay attention in lectures and you'd know how genres and subcultures are different. Or y'know wikipedia.
punk/hardcore/extreme metal
very interesting subculture with a long storied history and considerable overlap between each other
music's great too
>>65225217
a genre is an artistic tradition that has identifiable rules, themes and techniques. It has to do with artistic creation.
A subculture's just a smaller part of a bigger culture, it's way more vague and has to do with the way people live their lives and learn things.
>>65225290
>punk/hardcore/extreme metal is one single subculture
maybe from the perspective of a teenage Hot Topic consumer of the early 2000s.
>>65225304
yeah ok thanks. i'll probably just end up doing the assignment on genres then
>>65225324
then you're gonna have to get into details about the technical aspects of music.
>>65225338
i don't think so, it's a writing/zeitgeist class, and my assignment will be in "zine" form (lmao) as per my teachers request.
buzzfeed list essay = 40% of total class mark
Surf music and the surfers
>>65225217
I'm gonna give you a few examples:
Metal is a genre
Metalheads are a subculture
Industrial is a genre
Rivetheads are a subculture
Cloud Rap is a genre
Sadboys are a subculture
Oi Punk is a genre
Skinheads are a subculture
Horrorcore is a genre
Juggalos are a subculture
>>65225385
yeah then you're gonna have to tackle the values conveyed by each genre, and you're gonna end up having to describe the subcultures they're associated with.

>>65224982
do you guys think noise is fundamental in the current era tho?
i should have specified that it's gotta be zeitgeisty
I think an interesting trend to study would be the rise of nu-metal and the resulting subculture throughout the late 90s.
I mean, the cultural elements that make up the "nu-metal subculture" already existed independently before nu-metal happened, but it's the music itself that somehow fused them into a coherent whole, just as it took elements from very disparate music styles (industrial rock, groove metal, funk, hip-hop, sludge metal, grunge) and made a recognizable genre out of them.
why don't you just do hip-hop? is it really that hard to complete your sociology work made for 15 year olds?

The straight edge movement was literally sparked by minor threat.

Noise is relevant insofar as the current era is dominated (in my opinion) by pop-intellectualism and eclectic contrarianism. And since Noise is a genre that SEEMS very unapproachable, high-brow and inaccessible, it makes a fine fashion accessory for anyone who wants to seem more open-minded, authentic and enlightened than the rest.
It's got an aura that combines the "too deep for you" of musique concrète, spectralism and all those XXth century experimental composition methods, and the rebellious nihilistic glamor of punk rock and black metal. Which is fucking perfect because it allows aging intellectuals to seem hip and with it, while also allowing young wannabe-intellectuals to feel like they're part of an elite secret club.

What's with VPRO and top notch music docs?

Punk is such a diverse subculture... You could write books on the many possible origins of punk. Punk's had such a huge influence on everything, not just modern rock music... the diy ethos and attitude have permeated many other types of music (including electronic music genres) over the years. Not to mention the influence they've had over fashion and art...

Forgot to mention the influence they had on skateboarding, and I'm sure there's many other things I'm leaving out...
Not everything is 90s pop punk or mohawks and spikey jackets.

I've been super stuck finding punk bands- do you know of any that went beyond and really pushed the sounds of punk? I've really been into Pegasuses-XL, Hunchback, Big Dick, The Emotron, We Versus the Shark as of late
Just read Dick Hebdige, OP. He'll tell you everything
>>65224937

Not sure if you'll like these, but maybe you will. Some aren't punk per se, but definitely punk influenced:

Slang from rappers from different regions often becomes trendy social media lexicon. New aged edm hippies act like the shape their whole lives around PLUR or whatever.
