Talk:History of modern Western subcultures

message: I feel this article contains points of opinion that could be more concisely worded and documented as statements of fact. It also seems to lose focus towards the last three decades of the century. Some of the discussion is confusing, especially regarding the freak scene and overlapping groups beyond the 70s. Otherwise, I really enjoyed reading this article.
*I agree, but it's a work in progress. I'm hoping it will improve when (or if) someone else contributes to it.  :-)
*Stick with it.  This is a fascinating article and we can put up with the present rough-cut until the wonderful Wiki process that we all collaborate in will make it truly awesome. Keep it real: use the Force. Punanimal 8 July 2006, 11:19 (UTC)
*I also agree, but without condition. This article should be on another site. It also contains obvious errors and fabrications. I vote for deletion.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.242.61.237 (talk) 00:13, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Someone with the authority should mark this article to be claned up, or perhaps I should motivate myself to actually contribute, and not just leech the wealth of information from Wikipedia.
I've volunteered myself.  I'll be cleaning up this article in my spare time.  I've already done the first graf.--Andymussell 23:45, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article needs to be cleaned up. 

message: I pulled the following paragraph because I don't see how it fits (or where it would fit) into the article.  If someone could clarify or modify it and put it back in that would be fine by me.--Andymussell 21:14, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: 21st century

message: Just a thought from a librarian . . . I love this article and see great potential.  Perhaps it is too broad.  I would suggest adding in geographical subcategories.  Instead of subcultures in general, perhaps it should focus on subcultures in Britain or the United States.  Or maybe it can somehow stay "all encompassing" but then use the geographical delimiters as subheadings.  I think that will do much to clean up any confusion.  I am a new Wikipedian . . . let me know if I can help!  --digilio 05:24, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Too Broad Perhaps?  Think Geographically. 

message: I don't mean to throw a monkeywrench into the debate, but arguably, most ethnic subcultures are also legitimate subcultures. For example, Mexican Americans and Cuban Americans have separate dialects, musical influences, and literature from the American intellectual mainstream. Perhaps if we developed a list of subcultures we could better divide out this broad topic. MPS 03:59, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Ethnic Subcultures

message: This is a wonderful idea for an article, which really *needs* to become so magnificent that it serves as a guide to a series  broken up by century and region. Subculture is what's going on as far as creative people are concerned, what matters in their daily life, and is fragile and constantly changing. It's traditionally underreported if not ignored by the mainstream. Go baby, go! Twang 01:12, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm disambiguating Swing, and there doesn't seem to be an appropriate article for the usage here, unless it's another name for Jive (which also needs disambiguating). Could someone who knows better please fix it? Thanks! --Jamoche 06:44, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  What about the 19th century? 

message: I took a lot of time off working at this trying to figure out what to do with it; several editors above gave good suggestions, but really I think the problem is that the topic is far too expansive for one article.  In particular, the decade-based divisions, though better than nothing, provide too-definite boundaries for what are really very blurrly lines.
I'm going to start breaking it up into refers to other pages in rough chronological order, unless anyone else has a better idea.

message: I removed a ridiculous unsourced section about hairstyles which claimed that long hair for men and women had always been considered normal. Hair length has of course varied from period to period and culture to culture. Brianyoumans 23:01, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

message: so what about gamers? i think it really started in the 1980's. Game informer and ign.com both came out in the 90'sMambi55 01:55, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Would there be any objection to moving this article to History of Western subcultures in the 20th century? The hyphen is only used when 20th and century are working together as a compound adjective before a noun. History of Western subcultures in the 20th-century would remain as a redirect to the new title. If there's a consensus to do so, or at least no objection, I'll make the move in about a week. Thank you. SchreiberBike (talk) 03:39, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

message: I had to refrain from just boldly deleting almost everything in it. Instead, I will do the sensible thing and ask more experienced editors to give this piece a really hard look. There is no introduction explaining the scope of this article. Almost none of its content is being attributed, there is little context given to its almost random enumeration, and especially the comments on more recent eras are silly at best and downright offensive at worst.  A negative highlight is the naming of "social justice warrior" as a contemporary subculture...
It is possibly just too much work to transform this article into something worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, so if noone feels like taking on that herculean task, I strongly suggest to delete it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.226.172.38 (talk) 00:24, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
