Down with the Clown Till I'm Dead in the Ground.

Can't really explain more then that beyond painted faces and horrorcore music (Though non horrorcore music can be down with the clown)

Please, show me some good horrorcore (seriously), I'm only familiar with KidCrusher (Cradle of Filth acapella) and Kill C (which was just effing stupid).

I'm pretty sure for the less computer illiterate folks forum culture counts

Well Twiztid has some good stuff, Anything off W.I.C.K.E.D. for example, there's also Tech N9ne who I tend to enjoy. A Rapper Friend of mine, called Mista Sykness also has some downright vicious stuff too...

You kinda have to be specific though when thinking anything Psychopathic though, since their artists are quite varied and different. ABK tends to have a Native American tone in his rap and Boondox has southern/gothic tones in his songs about murder. :P

I'm part of what has become a sub-culture in America.

I served in in the military, a family tradition for over 90 years in my family.

I worked my ass off and put myself through college, took me 8 years to do it.

I got a decent job and worked my ass off for for 20 years. Then I started my own business and worked my ass off making sure my employees came first.

I raised 2 kids who are both in college and working, they support themselves and I pay for their education. They don't drink, do drugs and have never been arrested. They have manners and respect their elders.

I pay my taxes, pay my bills, don't use credit cards and could retire at any time, but I keep working because I keep people employed and I enjoy what I do.

I don't believe in handouts, social programs mismanaged by the government, spending $500,000 dollars to study the mating habits of purple frogs in winter when we have disabled veterans walking the streets hungry. I think people should have to perform community service to collect unemployment or welfare. If you stick out your hand asking me for a handout, it better be calloused from hard work or I'll unscrew your hand from your wrist.

In America, I am now part of the subculture called "The Establishment".

I guess, and by all means this is a guess, I'm what has become of the "Greaser" subculture.
all of my friends and I talk cars, we work on our cars and each other's cars...we aren't a street gang, and we don't go roving in packs, but I've been to the drag strip a couple times making sure my buddie's cars are good to go and making sure nothing broke. Drag races aren't my thing though, I'm more of a road racer, I'd take a GT40 driving the 24 hours of Le Mans than a top fuel dragster. Actually, my main aspiration in life is to one day own a GT40 continuation model. I'd like to get into professional racing, and make a career of it someday.

ah well. We don't have any specific clothing, and we tend to get girls from just about everywhere, and I'm dating the only girl who has any semblance of the gearheadedness,

alas...we are pretty well known at the lights...

I just asked my woman the same question, she replied "Yes, you are. The question is to which you belong to."

So I guess I have to elaborate my life a little. This evening, when I have the time and a beer, I will write some stories down.

antikristuske: were there any estonian subcultural bands during soviet times?

Platapus: there is definitely a bdsm subsulture, though this doesn't mean that anyone practicing it is a member of it.

MothBalls: You're mixing minority with subculture

- no offense, I respect your opinion

Am I a subculture member?

Nope, I guess not. I have my interests but they don't own me.

my boring story:

it all started with the music...

After getting my first rock tapes from my older cousin with stuff like Motörhead and Maiden, I was addicted: needed more and more of this crazy rock thing. I was about 12/13 then.

At the age of about 14 I became a Psychobilly. It was really an 80's thing, mostly in Germany, GB and the Netherlands. The music being a mixture of rockabilly and punk. Check out The Meteors, as they were the first band who played this stuff, to get an impression of the music. The dress code was somehow between rude boy/skin, ted, rockabilly and punk. It was a subculture with everything that the term includes: unique music, concerts, clothing and not to forget gang violence. The people who hated us most were the teds (teddyboys), not too few were still running around at this time. They despised us for having stolen their music and dress code and having it turned upside down, lol. As we never were too many, in comparision to other youth subcultures we had no other chance than to stand and fight together as one - man, this really sounds pathetic in the retrospective, but I'm just telling you how it was.
Other groups where we used to get into fights with were immigrant gangs, metal guys - though we had metalheads running with us- and of couse the usual struggle with the law... It was non-political in the true meaning: it was only about music and having fun. There were italians, french, even an iranian girl and a long-haired neonazi were among the gang I was associated with, politics really never played a big role.
Over the time, this whole stuff became one-dimensional, boring and ****ty. Too many idiots and right-wing arseholes came into the scene, just having a flattop (our haircut), knowing nothing about the music. Oh yes, not to forget the inner-subcult fight: people who believed only the traditional psycho style was the true one and people who listened to the more punkish style, expressed by bands like Demented Are Go, Klingonz, King Kurt were enemies.

When you had a dyed flat or - heaven forbid- a coloured flat, you could get in trouble with your "own" people.
At about the age of 17/18 I seperated more and more from these people and then I turned to the wonderfull world of Punkrock, a music which I had listened to a little bit for the whole time.

End of part one...
feel free to ask questions about, if someone is interested I'll continue with the next 20 years...
