Mainstream things should be said to be a relatively stable whole. The internal movement may be violent, but it still follows the existing rules and regulations, and the results are predictable. For example, if you travel through a travel agency, the tour guide will probably have a map of the itinerary, attractions, and tourists' reactions today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, and there will be no big changes. If you travel alone on horseback, it is impossible to predict what you will encounter today: such as social reaction, traffic regulations, supplementary horse feed, accommodation, etc., there are a series of problems. But in ancient times, traveling on horseback was a very common way and the mainstream way. Today it has become non-mainstream, which is also the result of changes in the world.

Non-mainstream is the reverse thinking of the mainstream. It should be kept alive. This vitality does not refer to whether it exists or is running, but to its ability to create. Once many non-mainstream things lose their creativity, even though their form is still non-mainstream, there are only two endings:

First, elimination;

Second, assimilation. For example, once the hippie trend lost its specific historical creativity and could not develop its own ideas with the times, it gradually became a fashion.

The inability to define exactly or to be conclusive is a reflection of the creativity of non-mainstream things. For example, when the R&B style was born, it was not just useless talk about the current style. Also because of its sharp and barbaric origins, it is full of tension and difficult to be accommodated by mass society. Therefore, the R&B style that is now popular all over the world is something that has been transformed and processed, retaining its formal beauty, but cutting off the roots of its development. Without the nourishment of reality, it has become a component in the mainstream, a buzzword, commercialized, and then displayed and sold in shop windows around the world. These are all non-mainstream things that have become mainstream. More non-mainstream things are being produced, but underground or in corners, unknown to anyone. In a sense, non-mainstream represents the development trend of society, the source of vitality for human progress, the mutated gene fragments in the social body, and the seat of creativity. Therefore, please do not regard non-mainstream news as entertainment and gossip. If you feel that the non-mainstream is shallow, then unfortunately, it only proves that you are really mediocre (usually, the real non-mainstream will not be considered mediocre, and the "non-mainstream" phenomenon in today's society does not fall into this category. ). Because we have lost our self-confidence and grandeur, and have no courage to continue to create and accept things that have never been done before, we exist in the world like a zombie. Isn't this the so-called hell?

Psychologically speaking, the mainstream always wants to confirm something, establish something, delineate something, and maintain something. However, the original appearance of the world does not exist because of people. By constantly discovering, discovering, rediscovering, creating and recreating, the understanding of the world will become deeper, and of course it will become more complex and profound. This is bound to be a great way to kill brain cells. Non-mainstream people not only destroy themselves, but also the world around them. Therefore, most of the time, non-mainstream subjects are difficult to be accepted by mass society. This is actually the case in history. The so-called history is often the popular version of history, rather than the historical truth.

Being non-mainstream is an experience, and as an experience, it must go through the subject's feelings, thinking and behavior. Well, a more popular saying is that non-mainstream guys can always show a personality. This kind of personality must be strong, otherwise it will be lost in all living beings with sexual nature. In fact, all living beings have personality, but it is very weak. Most of the seeds of personality are not enough to break through their own chaff, let alone take root and sprout and blossom into gorgeous flowers that others can see. Therefore, not everyone has the expression of personality.

However, the so-called personality seems to be expressed through words and deeds. Words and deeds must always follow certain rules and regulations. Therefore, there is the possibility to imitate and learn. Conspirators with relatively advanced IQs can then deliberately deceive the world and steal their reputation by deliberately speaking out, such as the Taoist priests from Mount Zhongnan. These non-mainstream words and deeds are actually dead. The buzzwords and products that cut off the roots of thought are martial arts secrets that can be widely distributed and sold. They are destined to be unable to move forward. That's why there have been thousands of years of ghost tricks and moral defenders and all kinds of so-called masters.

The mainstream should be the popular cultural values ??of an era.

Non-mainstream, of course, is not something that follows popular cultural values. It is alternative, flamboyant, or to be more precise, it is behavior that conforms to our personal psychology. Either ahead or behind. However, it is possible for the non-mainstream to transform into the mainstream. What is non-mainstream? Non-mainstream means that it is not the most popular and common in the same category.

The definition of material is as follows: the current mainstream CPUs are Intel's Celeron, Pentium, Core 2 Duo, etc., and the much-anticipated Core 2 Extreme is too expensive, resulting in a small consumer base, and only a few people use it. This is a non-mainstream CPU. Of course, mainstream and non-mainstream are not limited to price factors. They are mainly determined by the audience and the number of users. Of course, this term can also be used in many fields such as writing style and consumer goods.

In addition, the word "non-mainstream" that we commonly use now is mostly used in dressing and grooming.

It means to show individuality, alternativeness and non-popularity, which means fashion trend. In other words, fashionable and avant-garde means having "personality" and is suitable for the taste of today's young people. Non-mainstream has good aspects and shortcomings. The following mainly introduces this aspect.

Mainstream (conventional fixed model):

Mainstream cultural values ??usually appear to be stable structures to the outside world. As the name suggests, mainstream does not refer to the pursuit of fashion trends - it refers to a value and outlook on life that has been accepted by the vast majority. (Those who do not accept the true mainstream views are not followers of the social phenomenon currently called non-mainstream - but refer to idealistic philosophers such as Nietzsche.)

Non-mainstream (unconventional flow patterns ):

Niche cultural values ??are incompatible with realistic values. Haizi, who committed suicide by lying on the train, and Van Gogh, who committed suicide with a gun, are both representatives of non-mainstream niche cultural values.

Non-mainstream phenomena (accidental phenomena arising under special social background):

Go against the grain! It is rebellious, flamboyant, wild, weird...a few people show off their own fashionable alternative style! Representative website: Gopher Gate - Ninety Commune

Literally speaking, it means not following the crowd

In general, non-mainstream represents a group of individuality, which has the meaning of new and new humanity. According to research, the ancestor of non-mainstream is punk who originated in the 1970s. (Punk) culture, represented by Gothic rock and Visual rock. Punk culture belongs to post-modern nihilism. It expresses emotions such as anger, destruction, and death through strange costumes with strong visual impact. It is popular among rock musicians and fans.

In the late 1990s, a new form of expression emerged from Punk culture, which incorporated Pop elements, became more diversified in visual expression techniques, and began to express some melancholy and sad themes. , so the Emo culture was born, and Emo is the abbreviation of Emotional. Emo culture also originated in the field of music, but soon became a fashion style that became popular among teenagers around the world. The emerging non-mainstream in China is Emo culture. Let’s compare the non-mainstream in Europe, America, Japan, and China. What is a “non-mainstream phenomenon”? What does “non-mainstream phenomenon” mean?

Answer: Non-mainstream, I don’t want to use mainstream to define it. Because it is easy to fall into the paradox of which came first, the chicken or the egg.

2. It is changing, or there are still major changes.

The mainstream should be the popular trend of an era.

And it continues to spread in the pursuit of individuality, and the social phenomena derived from it

The fashion of "non-mainstream phenomenon" means that it is not the most popular thing... that is, it is relatively advanced or lagging.

In order to avoid people’s misunderstanding of non-mainstream cultural groups, in this entry, the special social phenomena arising in the post-80s and post-90s groups are called “non-mainstream phenomena”. "Non-mainstream phenomenon" originated from an emerging non-mainstream culture. After being widely alienated, it became a social phenomenon without cultural connotation.

People who do not have their own way of thinking, no matter how strange this person is, He's just a pseudo-non-mainstream person

People who blindly follow trends are playing with other people's things

Can't really find themselves

Maybe that's their personality< /p>

My personality is that I have no personality

(Non-mainstream comes from the Internet age, the Internet There are mostly non-mainstream personality portrayals. Such as: non-mainstream personality fonts, non-mainstream signatures, non-mainstream decadent pictures, QQ, etc.) The embarrassing status of non-mainstream

The original meaning of non-mainstream is a petty bourgeoisie and It is a representative word in niche circles, but it has been seriously vulgarized in China. The so-called non-mainstream now is no longer non-mainstream in the true sense, but a superficial social phenomenon arising in a special era.

Almost all the non-mainstream content and related websites searched on the Internet are nothing more than stolen photos from some 163 and sohu photo albums, trendy websites or some well-known blogs, pirated fashion brand clothing, and stolen excellent products. The designer's work is then labeled with the maliciously hyped keyword "non-mainstream", or it is a Google Picasa advertisement. Google has stated that it is just a photo management tool, and then it is maliciously hyped by those "non-mainstream" webmasters in order to make money. After collecting the advertising fees, we promoted it to a certain extent to induce and deceive those members to come and download. Google never expected that after spending so much money, its brand would be ruined by these unqualified webmasters in China. Today's "non-mainstream" even those who are truly anti-traditional and fringe are disgusted, and even some fashionable people sneer at it. The representative word of a very bourgeois and niche circle has been so hyped.

Non-mainstream in China has become a tool for a certain group of people to escape reality and find spiritual solace.

Non-mainstream has also lost its original profound connotation and significance. In China, thousands of young people are stuck in those obscure and decadent texts. In the confusion of young people, being non-mainstream becomes an excuse for them to evade social responsibilities and self-responsibility. In other words, they are a decadent mess. However, in real life, there is really no one or thing that can make them so decadent.

The profound concepts embodied in the non-mainstream are also misinterpreted as decadence, sadness, pain and other words that are very popular among the younger generation today.

As this netizen said, even those who are truly anti-traditional and fringe people are disgusted. The development of a non-mainstream culture to this day has become a social phenomenon in mainstream society because a large number of people blindly follow trends. As a result, it was misunderstood by the public, and many people began to criticize it, which is undeniable. They are right. Even if they say it is not worthy of being culture, that is not true. But one thing is that it is not the real non-mainstream. The original non-mainstream was completely different from what it is now. What is presented to everyone now is the distorted non-mainstream. At most, it can be regarded as a branch of the non-mainstream that has developed to this day. The real non-mainstream rarely attracts everyone's attention. Although they can be considered alternative, they can also embody harmony.

As a reminder to all my friends who blindly follow the trend, what I know about the non-mainstream is as follows:

1. They are ordinary people, but very alternative.

2. They cannot distinguish between illusion and reality. They live in an illusory society.

3. They distort themselves excessively to give people a fresh, individual and tasteful visual appearance, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

4. They will also dress up trendy, retro, and exaggerated, but they must pay more attention to matching.

5. They hang out with punks and are pornographic and violent elements.

6. They don’t understand self-esteem and self-love and often harm themselves.

7. They also love beauty and shopping. They regard money as paper and squander it wantonly. They know what is their own pursuit.

8. What they know is life.

9. They like to dress up, and the unusual reason is to become famous and show themselves off.

10. They think more deeply than ordinary people, can break away from traditional concepts and think in leaps and bounds, and have strong independent thinking patterns. But they are very decadent when thinking about problems.

11. Their actions often come from fragments of their own thoughts, or are expressed on a whim or in a pretentious manner.

12. They hate being excluded from the group and hope to integrate into society instead of being seen as a non-mainstream symbol of rebellion.

13. They put on any high profile in the hope that others will obey them and hope that the other party can truly understand themselves.
