If you are one of those three, you never "take off" your clothes or makeup.

There's no real indication that she is part of any of those subcultures though. She could just be wearing what makes her happy and/or matches the aesthetic of her workplace without being part of a given subculture after all. Someone wearing dark clothes and nail polish and having piercings isn't automatically a goth after all. Just like wearing jeans with holes and baggy flannel shirts doesn't automatically make you grunge.

She wears clothing that matches the aesthetic of the music she listens to, isn't that part of the defining traits of a subculture? Subcultures aren't clubs, they're ultimately just categorizations of people with similar interests.. I do agree though that she isn't a goth or uhh "grunge" (i hate that word).

I hope we are. I need to update my music ref compilation so we can keep track of the bands mentioned.
I am still waiting for The Beatles or Queen to be mentioned.

Message 1: "How come this manga has so many pages of comments?"
Message 2: "Gotta be because the mcs love rock bands like ### and &&& and $$$."
Messages 3 to 250: (People discuss the merits of ### and &&& and $$$ and a dozen other bands.)

Lol so which one is the band that you chose to represent with the $$$ symbol?
Nirvana?
Aerosmith?
Nah, gotta be Guns N' Roses. :P

You're so mean. T_T

You in danger, girl. Be careful making critical opinions about music around these parts!

I clicked on the comments to see discussion about the cute story. I got 3 pages of (wanabe) thesis instead.

Seriously lol, sometimes I don't know why I even bother clicking on the discussion page button.

For science. It's a known phenomenon that any thread on Dynasty can and will at some point evolve into scientific discussion. Even the image comments. ;)

Seriously! A while back, there was a poster who was using feminist theory to augment their extensive argument on gender presentation in this manga, and I was thoroughly impressed. Not what I was expecting at all.

See, stuff like that can be interesting, but on the other hand, seeing people nitpick irrelevant details or just straight up make things up because they interpreted something so bizarrely wrong just seems to drain the joy I feel when reading yuri manga. I was just commenting on another forum where some people were complaining about certain things in She-Ra that they thought were "problematic" because they didn't like it and can't seem to accept nuance or character development and only see things in black and white and I'm just like "UGGHHHHHHHHHHH" because seeing people dissect the little representation we get for supposed wrongs has got me f*cked up.

You are only allowed to have an opinion on what comments are acceptable, that's what all the cool kids do. Having preferences towards music is totally cringe and uncool.

That's why we don't apply American subcultures on settings outside America and expect accurateness.

Good lord, in the first instance that’s not a individual person’s “critical opinion”—that’s the world-famous tagline for The Clash created by their record company’s marketing department.

You know, like calling Elvis Presley “The King of Rock & Roll” doesn’t mean he made the laws for Rock & Roll.

Of course he didn't, he had his ministers for that.

I'm not American nor live there, these subcultures are all over the world and we all have slightly different interpretations of them but they all have unifyng traits that are not country specific.

Depends if your definition of "subculture" is the same as the OP's in this opinion.
Seems they think that being part of a subculture involves following specific "rules" - those being you can't ever project an image of something else. Forgetting, of course, that some people just want to suppress their individuality at school and be "themselves" at home, and that's okay, actually.

Yeah no, i just don't agree with either opinion really.

When one puts on a pair of ripped jeans and

Converse Chuck Taylors with a flannel

Shirt, the wearer is changed,

Changed utterly.

A terrible beauty is born.

Yeah it's still a Kabedon in action, just not in a "romantic" context.
