In sociology, counterculture is a term used to describe a cultural group whose values and norms are at odds with those of the social mainstream, a cultural equivalent of a political opposition.
So, in the "youth culture" view of the phenomenon, every sort of outlook and political philosophy (and form of political apathy) except social conservatism might be expected to flourish: libertarianism, left-libertarianism, liberalism, socialism, anarchism, communism, materialism, mysticism, hedonism, spirituality, environmentalism, and many other basic orientations.
During the period in question, new cultural forms that were perceived as opposed to the old emerged, including the pop music of the Beatles, which rapidly evolved to shape and reflect the youth culture's emphasis on change and experimentation.

 Barbelith Underground > Temple > Welcome to the counter culture
The solitary figure who operates outside of mainstream culture, is aloof from it, alone in a dark tower with his impenetrable books on the nightside of eden, concerning himself with astral mysteries that would be incomprehensible to the man in the chip shop.
If the resistance of the counter culture fails, I think there will be nothing in store for us but what anti-Utopians Huxley and Orwell have forecast--though I have no doubt that these dismal despotisms will be far more stable and effective than their prophets have forseen.
I don’t tend to put much stock in the term counter culture because not only does it imply a dualism (either the culture or the counter culture) it also defines itself in negative (as an opposite or against) in its relationship to something that really cannot be easily defined (especially not too all concerned parties).

 Counter Culture
Counter Culture is an exhibition featuring site-specific interventions by six contemporary New York artists: Raul Vincent Enriquez, Flux Factory, Ricardo Miranda Zuñiga, Jean Shin, Julianne Swartz and Marion Wilson.
The exhibition, which is free and open to the public, explores the commerce and cultural diversity of the neighborhoods surrounding the Bowery-the future home of the New Museum-by pairing each of the six artists with a small business or organization in the area.
Shin's sink counters, familiar to many of the vast number of immigrants that work in the kitchens of New York restaurants, symbolize the immigrant pursuit of the "American Dream," a story common to the history of the Bowery.

 Zeek: Politics: Counterculture and Democracy
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.
This is why members of countercultures resent their culture being “co-opted.” When rock & rollers are selling Pepsi, they’ve “sold out,” lost the vitality that comes from refusing to stand for commercialism and materialism.
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.

"Counter" it was, as an expression of defiance toward everything normal and reliable in society.

 Reflexivity, social transformation, and counter culture   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Such counter cultures have their own local rationalities, and are not exhausted by the instrumental rationalities of organisation or commodification that may develop within them (Cox 1996).
The counter cultural logic of autonomy, however, starts from a concept of self-development, within which the self is seen as open-ended; as something to be constructed or transformed.
The counter culture then offers the possibility of a radicalisation of this notion of reflexivity, within which we do not simply monitor "how we are doing" or adopt various attitudes towards our own action, but rather (attempt to) change the way in which we construct our selves, our actions and our lifeworlds.
