counterculture 

An imaginary state of being. While many social groups define themselves as "counterculture" the only truly counterculture people are geeks, nerds, etc. The only true way to be counterculture is to smile kindly and sincerely at everyone and dress appropriately for the situation.

Anti-Racism Counterculture 

The word for the enivitable counterculture that all this #BlackLivesMatter stuff will spread due to it being everywhere, that will only serve to better spread racism. Sometimes its best to forgive and forget.
Paul: Ugh, you know all this #BlackLivesMatter stuff that is everywhere will only lead to more racism.

Jake: You talking about Anti-Racism Counterculture?

All that Hot Topic crap is just over-the-counterculture.

over-the-counter counterculture 

When something that appeals to those who'd rather do their own thing is sold by a corporation. A textbook example is Hot Topic appealing to the punk/emo/metal scene by selling shirts with "clever" sayings and emblems of punk bands that were big in the decade before. Another example would be pre-ripped jeans. When attemps to stand out are made easy by going to the mall, rather than actually embracing the counterculture itself.
You shit on eggs. I need no example. over-the-counter counterculture

Over-The-Counterculture 

Noun refering to the mass of baby-boomers who, although not embracing the lifestyle of the previous counterculture (who took drugs in the 60's & 70's) suffer from symptoms that allow them to rationalize taking drugs in their 60's & 70's.
Daughter: "Hey, did you see how zonked Grandma was at the cookout? She was popping pain killers like M&Ms!"

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.
