- This article is about the History of subculture. For the main article, see Subculture.
In any historiography of subculture, the term subculture itself is related to four other terms: counterculture, a term used during 20th century discourse; avant-garde, a fin de siècle term; underground, again 20th century; alternative culture, a late 20th century term.
Subculture itself, which was first recorded with reference to humans in 1936, so that makes it again a 20th century term.
As far as the connotations of our field go, counterculture is political; alternative less so but still to some degree; avant-garde is artistic in nature, although it started as a political term; underground has criminal/cultural connotations; the term subculture has mainly a cultural overtone.
