Poll question: Are you currently a member of an underground sub culture?
Edited on Thu Jan-28-10 06:10 PM by MrScorpio
And if so, what?

I used to be a comics collector and drew my own comics art.

Now, I'm an underground hip-hop internet DJ

I love the underground.

17. Yes!!!!! At least it counts amongst things that make me laugh out loud, which is what I came to the
lounge for. Well, actually I was just curious, but a good laugh was an especially acceptable outcome.

12. Maybe...because of all my good tattoos.
I have some really amazing tattoos, even more so since they almost never get sunlight upon them, and nobody ever sees them. They are very colorful and were expensive.

13. Needlework and hand embroidery
NOT cross stitch, though I can do that, but hate to. I do needlepoint, Japanese embroidery, blackwork, and other techniques. They are dying arts these days but the people who still do this work are a dedicated bunch.

Here is one of my original designs:

20. Not directly but my husband is a professional yoyoer and that
community is definitely underground. Their message boards and internal drama is fascinating.

22. I am my own underground subculture
By the time those poseur "underground" subcultures catch on to me, I've usually moved on. In other words, I am so hip/unhip that I'm either 5-10 years too early or 10-15 years too late for most trends. Not sure if that makes me more hip or less, and I don't care.
