"The past few years have been marked by an “anti-gatekeeping” era, where people have engaged with subcultures in ways that commodify them, hopping on trends and disregarding them once they fade. This approach can be harmful to the subcultures themselves. Visual cues that once signalled a person’s belonging to a subculture have become almost meaningless, leading some to believe subcultures no longer exist (they do—you’re just not part of them)." Yes, Yus! Love it.
