Goths seem to not be as common, but by not common I mean those who follow the old looks and interests that would consider them as Goths. Those that consider themselves Goths now a days are really nothing near to looking the same as the ones before, but really, why must there be a standard set on how to look?
Next on this list of "Hardcore Anarchists" are your so called hippies. It's hard to really tell who are your hippies now a days, especially since everyone thinks hippies are just pot-smoking-spiritual people. Well, to a point those things may be true, but I believe they also are in the list of Anarchists, because they always protested against the oppressor. Your so called "Hipsters" dress like the Hippies used to, but then again, most of these genres and labels have been affected by the "vintage look". It's always about fashion now a days.
What about the Grunge genre? Well, they generally have the "I could care less attitude". Many consider it being trashy, but only because they are blinded by the fact of needing to look like you care about your appearance. If you look at the way of dress, Grunge of today's time, looks fashionable and like they took time to look like they could care less, but in a fashionable way at all times. Surely these "total anarchists" don't care. Ha! This shows the BIG difference of our generation being all about anarchy.
Oh and last but not least, Punk genre does not fall behind in change of scenes. It's sad that real punks are falling behind. These so called "punks" are also all about anarchy and what not, yet they say but don't act. The new punks always talk about anarchy and going against the man, yet what do they do? They go out and buy expensive clothing lines. By doing this, you know what they're doing?.. Well, THEY'RE FEEDING THE MAN! True meaning of anarchy is not only to stand out, but also to stand up and do something about the corruption. Just because you buy expensive hair products to dye your hair or fancy "punk clothing" does not make you a punk anarchist. Yet, this idea has become the the main part of the new punk scene.
Sad to see that the fellow Anarchists' ideas are being lost to the new ideas of fashion. If you look at all of the pictures of each genre from before, you will see there were things that set them apart from one another. Look at all the genres and scenes of today's time and what do you see?.. The only thing I see is conformity of fashion. These genres have become a mere sense of fashion then being a way of expression. There are many similarities throughout the scenes of our generation, which shows the true CHANGE of times.
