I doubt that highly. Actually I know for a fact it’s a bunch of BS. I live numerous counter cultures. Including the ones with anime hair girls. They’re not on drugs. They weren’t influenced by people on drugs. And a lot of them ain’t affluent. They’re just not normal. The only real difference between now and olden times is the not normal don’t feel the need to hide anymore. We realize we actually out number the normal. Then of course you all started going to our movies. And so now we wave our freak flags high, and anybody who don’t like it free to $%&* right off.
“ They weren’t influenced by people on drugs.”
Normies today, which includes the weird hair etc… people, are all influenced by people on drugs.
Let’s examine your contention. Who are the “various counter cultures” influenced by.
