counter-culture

any group of people whose beliefs, values, styles, and attitudes differ from that of the prevailing culture. Counter-culture began with the hippie movement back in the late 60's and 70's. In today's society, counter-culture is most often seen in the alternative subcultures.

The gothic, punk, emo, skater, raver subcultures are all examples of present-day counter-cultures.
