Therein lies the incredible irony in most of these so-called "defiant" 'subba-cultcha's'. They are preaching - or rather, trying to themselves have - some kind of edgy, totally original and non-conformist value system, but they all look exactly the same, dress the same, think the exact same, all because that's what it takes to FIT IN. There is no actual originality or substance to it, you just do it to be a part.
