was a Mod back in the 80s - all the obsessive talk about scooters and clothes - aspie obsession was quite unnoticed!

I can't think of a subculture that I would consider myself part of.

I identify with certain subcultures, but it's not the same as feeling like I belong to a group. It's more about just relating to a certain philosophy or belief system on a remote basis.

This in the areas of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and democratic socialism.

I don't align with either of those things. PETA is quite unethical, and I despise socialism. You're treading on really contentious ground when you try to label a person with things they don't believe in.

I meant I identify with those subcultures but I don't feel I belong to them. I did not mean you felt aligned with what I was interested in.

Brony,
More nerd than geek, but identify with both, although I wasn't social enough for the D&D crowd.

I have always been obsessed with 90's rave music! Have been since I was 11... never listem to anything else

Let's see... I'm listening through an electro punk playlist of mine (that started with metal, jam band & rave music obsessions), car culture is second-top on my list although my main interest is joining local Saab clubs and I no longer own one for the moment. Mountain biking is another subculture where I live, I'm about to squeeze a town ride in tonight. On top of that, I'd mostly just say hacker & punk/raver/generalized-weirdo is where I fit eusocially...

I dont fit anywhere really. I was mostly metalhead/druggie subculture when I was younger, but always had my own way of doing stuff.

I never wanted to dress anyway just to be part of a group. I wore/wear band shirts and stuff, but also sports jerseys and mostly plain ass stuff. I'm also really into sports. Alot. Most metalheads are not.

I'm not even accepted in metalhead subculture because of my tastes in bands. Your typical "metal" (quotes because WTF is metal even today? SOOO many subgenres) bands like your Slayer, Metallica, Lamb of God, just are not my thing. "Real" metalheads typically make fun of bands I like like Candiria, Dillenger Escape Plan and iwrestledabearonce. It's considered by many to be "for p*****s", despite the fact Im guessing I'd fare quite well in a fight with many of them.

I find subcultures, when taken to their extreme, to be just as limiting as the mainstream. Just a different set of expectations to live up to and another image to wear.

GGOG's - Grumpy Grey Old Git's.

Like I said, I don't really identify with any one "subculture." I guess what I most resemble is the group composed of "professor wannabes."

Sometimes (when I'm taking it easy on the espresso) I start rambling about whatever I need to do that day, or anything else to be rambled about. I'm a young fogey... :jester:

I was a young fogey once. Now, I'm an old whippersnapper.
