I’ve been considering some differences and similarities of beatniks and hippies, but they’re just part of a much longer tradition that is often called bohemian.
Without trying to distinguish what identifies each of these (I do get awfully confused at times), here are ten to consider.
- Hipster.
- Boho.
- Grunge.
- Punk.
- Goth.
- Dread.
- Deadhead.
- Freak.
- Punk.
- Stoner. (Oops, I just saw that this one can be broken down into ten more categories!)
How would you distinguish any or all of these?
What would you suggest for the list?
Considering the negative image of some, what would you offer as more positive alternatives when it comes to alternative awareness and living?

Hope that YouTube link comes through. It’s a comment by the capstone figure of all countercultural movements! Gary (aka Daedalus Lex)
Corrected link to the aforementioned countercultural icon:
You did a pretty good job with your list.
Thanks!
