Thank you, I don't entirely agree with myself, and feel that it is too reductive a statement. It is at least worth considering that countercultures contrast best against cohesive cultures.

We're now lacking both, mostly due to the transformations of the information age and how that has split many homogeneous cultures into numerous segregated identity clusters. For what it is worth (which is nothing) in 1992 I predicted what we see now; it has unfolded exactly as I expected.
