| | Counterculture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The countercultural years and efforts had their representatives in the sciences, the trades, business, and law, to name only several walks of life (besides in the more obvious career paths of art, design, music, literature, etc.). | | | In casual practice, the term came to prominence in the general press as it was used to refer to the youth rebellion that swept North America and Western Europe in the 1960s and early 1970s. | | | But not all attempts to "think outside the box" or blaze new trails were related to the arts. |

| | Counterculture |
| | Counterculture looks at the relationship of artists publications like The Fox to the explosion of alternative art spaces during 1980s, the use of public posters and actions by gay and lesbian activists (such as Gran Fury and ACT UP), and challenges to definitions of information, privacy, and property in cyberspace. | | | Counterculture: Alternative Information from the Underground Press to the Internet is a comprehensive historical exhibition that examines the role of the alternative media in fostering social, cultural, and political change in America from 1965 to the present. | | | Counterculture will present the legacy of cultural revolutions and perpetuate the climate which encourages citizen-based information. |

| | Conquest of Cool by Thomas Frank, excerpt |
| | The counterculture has long since outlived the enthusiasm of its original participants and become a more or less permanent part of the American scene, a symbolic and musical language for the endless cycles of rebellion and transgression that make up so much of our mass culture. | | | And while nearly every account of the decade's youth culture describes it as a reaction to the stultifying economic and cultural environment of the postwar years, almost none have noted how that context—the world of business and of middle-class mores—was itself changing during the 1960s. | | | In the late 1950s and early 1960s, leaders of the advertising and menswear businesses developed a critique of their own industries, of over-organization and creative dullness, that had much in common with the critique of mass society which gave rise to the counterculture. |

| | Can a 60's Spirit Survive the Walls of Nostalgia? - New York Times |
| | A picture caption in The Arts yesterday with an article about a proposed Museum of the Counterculture in the East Village misspelled the surname of the founder of the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, who was to receive an honor at the party where museum plans were announced. | | | As early as 1969, when Theodore Roszak wrote his groundbreaking work, "The Making of a Counter Culture," the notion of the free-spirited 60's was being co-opted, patented and packaged. | | | Hartman said he wanted the museum to contain archives, exhibition galleries and theater spaces. |

| | Zeek: Politics: Counterculture and Democracy |
| | But there is much that is new in the Christian counterculture — an appropriation of mainstream culture’s music, fashion, and rhetoric, all transmuted into the counterculture, and yet a simultaneous, and self-conscious, understanding of themselves as oppositional to the dominant culture’s values. | | | First, a counterculture should be more than just a taste in music or clothes — it should be a culture, complete with language, style, ideology (or the explicit rejection thereof), identity-definers, and mores of social interaction. | | | There are ways to identify the ‘reality’ of a membership in a counter-culture, as contrasted with the poseurs who assume the style for some reason or other but are still members of the majority culture at heart; their style and speech seem “weird” to outsiders. |
