1900-World War I
In the early part of the 20th century, subcultures were mostly informal groupings of like-minded individuals. The Bloomsbury Group in London was one example, providing a place where the diverse talents of people like Virginia Woolf, Leonard Woolf, John Maynard Keynes, and E.M. Forster could interact.
In Germany, from 1896 onward there developed a movement of young men (and later young women) which focused on freedom and natural environments. Called Wandervogel (translated as "hikers", "ramblers" or, more precisely, "migratory birds"), they wanted to throw off the strict rules of society and be more open and natural.
The first known organised club for nudists, Freilichtpark (Free-Light Park), was opened near Hamburg, Germany in 1903.
In Italy, a popular art movement and philosophy called Futurism championed change, speed, violence and machines.
