Answer 1, non-mainstream is individuality, publicity, alternative clothing, not blindly follow the trend of today's masses, to speak in line with their own heart clothing.

Answer 2: Non-mainstream is to show individuality, alternative, non-mass, not blindly follow the trend of today's masses, and pay attention to the clothing, dress, speech and behavior in line with their own nature of heart.

Non-mainstream means not the most popular things... That is, relatively ahead of the curve or lagging behind.

Numerically speaking, the pursuit of non-mainstream people account for a relatively small number of people, more is called mainstream.

Where there is mainstream, there is non-mainstream. Mainstream and non-mainstream is **** exist, from the literal meaning of the explanation on, for example: HipHop `R&B or Blues in the Western society is in the mainstream position then in the past in China is the non-mainstream, but now is gradually towards the mainstream position and gradually lose the mainstream position is like the Tigers. It can also be called "experimental", "avant-garde", "vanguard", that is, the meaning of alternative.

Non-mainstream is not the most popular things, that is, relatively ahead of the curve or lagging behind, and is the pursuit of such a relatively small number of people (more called mainstream).

Answer 3,

What is mainstream? What is non-mainstream ?

Non-mainstream, I don't want to define it by mainstream. Because it is easy to fall into the circular paradox of whether the chicken or the egg came first.

In my opinion, non-mainstream, there are several characteristics:

1, can not be precisely defined or so far no conclusive.

2. In flux, or still in considerable flux.

The mainstream is supposed to be the popular trend of an era.

Answer 4,

-Netizen Answer:

A friend asked me what is non-mainstream?

Actually, you are non-mainstream

Because there is no one in the world who is exactly like you

In that case, I am also non-mainstream

People who have their own way of thinking are non-mainstream

People who don't have their own way of thinking, even if the person is weird, he's just a pseudo non-mainstreamer

People who follow the trend blindly. People who blindly follow trends and play with other people's stuff

Can't really find themselves

Maybe that's their personality

My personality is no personality

Personality isn't about appearances

Personality is about thoughts

Reality Analysis

-An Embarrassing Situation for the Non-Conformist

The non-conformist was originally intended to represent a very small and niche circle of people, but the non-conformist has become the most popular. The original meaning of non-mainstream is to represent a very small and niche circle, but it has been seriously vulgarized in China.

Now when you search for non-mainstream online, almost all of the content and related websites are nothing more than pirated photos from 163, sohu albums, trendy websites or some famous blogs, pirated trendy clothes, and pirated works of excellent designers, and then the title "non-mainstream" is the keyword that is being malignantly speculated on, and then it is either a googlepicasa advertisement, or an advertisement for the "non-mainstream" website. No is googlepicasa ads, google has declared just photo management tools, and then by those malicious speculation of the "non-mainstream" webmaster in order to earn advertising costs, it will do a certain amount of publicity, to induce, deceive those members over to download. google absolutely did not think to spend so much money also by these Chinese people who do not have the right to download. Google absolutely did not expect to spend so much money but also by these unqualified webmasters in China to smash their own brand. Now the "non-mainstream" even those who are really anti-traditional fringe people are disgusted, even some of the popular fashion are scoffing at it. It's a term that has become so popular that it has become a term of art for a very small and niche community.

-The relationship between non-mainstream and mainstream

There is mainstream and non-mainstream, and mainstream and non-mainstream are ****existing. From the literal meaning of the explanation on, for example: HipHop `R&B or Blues in the Western society is in the mainstream position then in the past in China is non-mainstream, but now is gradually towards the mainstream position and gradually lose the mainstream position, is like the Tigers. It can also be called "experimental", "avant-garde" and "pioneering", meaning "alternative".

-Some characteristics of non-mainstream

Non-mainstream, there are several characteristics:

1, can not be precisely defined or so far no conclusions.

2, is in the process of change, or there is still a large change.

Non-mainstream should maintain its vitality. This vitality does not mean whether it exists or is running or not, but its ability to create. Many non-mainstream things, once they lose their creativity, even though their form is still non-mainstream, then there are only two endings: one, annihilation; two, assimilation. For example, the hippie trend, once lost its specific historical creativity, can not keep pace with the times to develop their own ideas, but also gradually reduced to a kind of fashion. And the inability to define it exactly or the lack of a definitive definition is a reflection of the creativity that non-mainstream things possess.

-Non-mainstream and Historical View

"Most of the time, non-mainstream subjects are difficult to be accepted by the mass society. This is in fact exactly the case with history. What is called history is often the popular version of history, rather than history as it is." It's what is said above, "The mainstream always wants to confirm something, establish something, delimit something, maintain something." It is the idea of the majority that reigns and will not be overthrown because the "non-mainstream" is, after all, a minority. Through the question of "mainstream" and "non-mainstream," we can expand to history or the world, as in the saying that "the truth is often in the hands of a few," which is also true. Some things can be overturned by a few people; but after all, there are still many things that can not be, helpless.

Many non-mainstream things, once they lose their creativity, although their form is still non-mainstream, then there are only two endings: one, elimination; two, assimilation. For example, the hippie trend, once lost its specific historical creativity, can not with the times to develop their own ideas, also gradually reduced to a fashion.

These are all non-mainstream things that have been mainstreamed. More non-mainstream things, are being created, but underground or in the corners, unknown. In a sense, the non-mainstream represents the very tendency of the development of society, the source of vitality for the advancement of mankind, the mutated gene fragments in the social muscle, where creativity lies. Therefore, please do not look at the non-mainstream as a pastime and strange and interesting like gossip news. If you think the non-mainstream is very shallow, it is a pity, only to prove that you are really very mediocre only. Because of the loss of self-confidence and atmosphere, no courage to continue to create, accept the things that have not been, as the walking dead like existence in the world, so the end is not the so-called hell it.

-Non-mainstream and human personality

Again, another problem, "non-mainstream" crowd if they can show their own personality in place, it will be appreciated and accepted; if too much alternative, alternative fire is not good, not only to destroy their own image, but also to lead some of the followers! This will destroy the image of society or rise to the image of a country. This is the so-called "non-mainstream not only destroy themselves, but also destroy the surrounding world."

Mainstream things, I should say, is a relatively stable whole, the internal movement may be violent, but still follow the established laws and regulations, the result is predictable. For example, travel, through the travel agency, today, tomorrow and the day after the itinerary, attractions, the reaction of tourists, tour guides probably have a spectrum in mind there, there will be no major changes. If you travel by horseback alone, today it is impossible to predict what you will encounter: for example, the reaction of the community, the restrictions of the traffic regulations, the replenishment of the horse material, accommodation, etc., there are a series of problems. But in ancient times, traveling by horseback was a very common way, a mainstream way. That it has become non-mainstream to this day is also a result of the changing world.

And the fact that it cannot be exactly defined or is inconclusive is a reflection of the creativity that non-mainstream things possess. For example, the R&B style, when it was first created, was not the chirpy, talkative, useless, flamboyant thing it is today. Also because of its sharp and savage pedigree, full of tension, difficult for the mass society to accommodate. 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 among the mainstream, a buzzword, commoditized, and then exhibited and sold in windows around the world.

Psychologically speaking, the mainstream always wants to confirm something, establish something, delimit something, maintain something. However, the original image of the world is not there because of people, and the constant discovery of discovery and rediscovery, creation and creation, the deeper the knowledge of the world, and of course, the more complicated and esoteric it is. It is destined to be a great way to kill brain cells. The non-mainstream not only destroys itself, but also destroys the world around it. Therefore, most of the time, non-mainstream subjects have trouble being accepted by mass society. History is actually exactly the same. The so-called history is often the mass version of history, rather than history as it is.

Non-mainstream is an experience, and as an experience, it necessarily goes through the sensory thinking and behavior of the subject. The more common way of putting it, then, is that the non-mainstream guy always exhibits a personality. This personality is necessarily strong, otherwise it will be annihilated in the **** sex of the masses. In fact, all beings have personality, but it is very weak, the vast majority of personality seeds are not enough to break through their own shell, let alone take root and sprout, bloom others can see the flowers of prosperity. So, not everyone has a personality.

But non-mainstream is now a mainstream fashion.

Non-mainstream, I do not want to use mainstream to define it. Because it's easy to get caught up in the circular paradox of whether the chicken or the egg came first.

In my opinion, non-mainstream, there are several characteristics:

1, can not be precisely defined or so far inconclusive.

2. It is in flux, or still in considerable flux.

But the so-called personality seems to be expressed through words and deeds. Words and deeds are always subject to certain laws and regulations. Thus there is the possibility of imitation and learning. The more intellectually advanced conspirators can then deceive the world through their willful statements, such as the Taoist priests of the Southern Mountain. These non-mainstream words and actions are in fact dead, buzzwords and commodities that have severed the roots of thought, martial arts secrets that can be published and sold on a large scale, doomed, unable to move on. That's why there are thousands of years of ghostly tricks and defenders and all kinds of so-called high people.

-The dialectic between non-mainstream and trend

I guess the mainstream would be the trend of the masses of an era.

Non-mainstream of course is not to follow the popular trend of things, alternative, flamboyant, or more accurately, is in line with our personal psychology of behavior. Or ahead of the curve, or lagging behind.

But there is a possibility that non-mainstream can be transformed into mainstream.

Non-mainstream is a trend, the pursuit of different individualism. But there are too many people chasing this trend, which means that non-mainstream has become mainstream. You then imitate, its not to go with the flow? What to say with kind of different?

There are 2 sides to everything, and non-mainstream can't be special. I recognize that some people dress up in non-mainstream decorations and it does look good. However, I personally believe that imitation of non-mainstream can be, the key is to imitate the good aspects of it, rather than imitating something like "take a knife to pull their wrists, and then do blood-sucking" This is not personality, this is not cool! It's self-harm!

People have a lot of things to do in this world! Even if there are things you don't want to do from the inside, you can't change society, only to adapt to it! (For example, you always need to eat, eat always need to spend money! You have to earn money, you can't rely on your parents for the rest of your life, can you?) Some of the non-mainstream followers, all day long know personality, know different, this is right! But you can't spend your days having fun and doing nothing, can you?

Following the non-mainstream is right, but paralyzing yourself and degrading yourself while following the non-mainstream is wrong! As for the non-mainstream wear, I personally think that suitable to imitate, not suitable to cut not let others laugh! Some people's faces are more youthful and cute, imitating the non-mainstream is not wrong, but if you are born with a more mature, you also deliberately to imitate, it seems to be the knitting knit, let people make fun of it.

-Advice to the non-mainstream

In summary, any one thing comes to us, we do not need to blindly imitate and follow, but there is no need to show as if it is a beast of water! My personal opinion: non-mainstream, if indeed suitable for themselves and they also like to follow, but at the same time to brighten their own eyes to distinguish between non-mainstream good and bad place, learn its advantages, to its shortcomings. There is no perfect thing in the world, non-mainstream is also so. But there is a reason for existence, and non-mainstream does affect a part of our society. But I would like to advise: I hope that those who like non-mainstream and imitate it, in your "non-mainstream" at the same time, to maintain a positive attitude towards life, do not use decadent, perverted lifestyle interpretation of "non-mainstream" trend, do not let those who are not very cool to the non-mainstream Do not let those who are not very cold to the non-mainstream people mention non-mainstream scoffing, but thumbs up and say: "non-mainstream people, good job! Don't use "Sucking your own blood, decadent life, skipping school, fighting, messy sex ....." to show off non-mainstream style. You should use the non-mainstream style to interpret the positive life, is the real non-mainstream people!

-Mars text

"Mars text" is made up of a combination of symbols, traditional Chinese characters, Japanese, Korean, cold and remote characters and other non-formalized text symbols. At first glance, they look like garbled or mistyped characters, and their usage is so different from that of Chinese characters that they are literally impossible to understand. In fact, "Martian" a few years ago as a game language in the bubble hall popular, and then through the QQ data and chat quickly spread, become many young people's **** with the language. According to evidence, "Martian" originated in Taiwan, China. Some Internet users initially for the convenience of typing, using phonetic text instead of some commonly used words in the online communication, to achieve a fast typing and can understand the effect of the content. Soon, some Taiwanese netizens found this kind of text alternative and eye-catching, and then carried forward this kind of input method. With the popularity of "Jing Dance" and other online games for the younger generation in mainland China, this trend has entered mainland China with online games and other channels, and a group of new generation "post-90s" netizens have started to continue this unique text and created their own input methods suitable for Simplified Chinese characters to play, such as "劳工 laborer", "male friend", "粉可耐" and "你素谁". When the use of the crowd and the formation of new words and phrases after a certain scale, the emergence of some enthusiastic software development network masters to create a "Martian" special software, popular on the Internet, such as the "big black fish" software. The emergence of conversion software makes "Martian" have the function of password, and it becomes a group of people to protect their privacy. Among the audience, the new generation of "post-90s" have become the followers and disseminators of Martian, seriously misleading China's new young generation.

Marsingun is just one kind of influential circle language. In fact, the convenience of the Internet has made it possible for people to form circles with others according to their own interests, and these circles have produced "Martian" according to their own characteristics, which is also known as "small-circle black language. Of course, it is difficult for people outside the circle to understand the meaning.

Because of the bad influence of the Martian language, the non-mainstream in the majority of Internet users in the status of the embarrassing, 'small P children'. Fat lard, brain-dead text and other defamatory words are often produced, non-mainstream now represents, has not just a group or circle, but a social phenomenon.

Non-mainstream is to promote individuality, alternative, non-mass, do not blindly follow the trend of today's masses, pay attention to their own nature of clothing, clothing, speech and behavior.

Non-mainstream means not the most popular things... That is, relatively ahead of the curve or lagging behind.

Numerically speaking, the pursuit of non-mainstream people account for a relatively small number of people, more is called mainstream.

There is mainstream and there is non-mainstream, and mainstream and non-mainstream are ****existing. From the literal meaning of the explanation on, for example: HipHop `R&B or Blues in the Western society is in the mainstream position then in the past in China is non-mainstream, but now is gradually towards the mainstream position and gradually lose the mainstream position, is like the Tigers. It can also be called "experimental", "avant-garde" and "pioneering", meaning "alternative".

Appendix: seven characteristics of non-mainstream

1: most of the feet wearing imitation Converse style shoes or fake Converse

2: some wearing personalized colorful clothes.

3:basically love the network, from the beginning of the hanging QQ hot chase to tread space hot, QQ name and QQ space must be very fancy.

5: They like to take pictures, love to use software to edit pictures.

6:Their photo poses are very special, different from the ordinary, and always have their own characteristics.

7:Excessive use of Martian

Relatively independent non-mainstream images

Non-mainstream images are alternative and strange pictures, usually the color balance of the picture is specially processed and choreographed, often using a darkening of the light source of the picture, LOMO effect, positive negative washout, black and white effect, 5-pixel blur, soft light, dissolves, brushes, different fonts and special angles, etc. to create a picture. Text and special angles and so on to create the picture effect, and strive to make the picture from the composition to the color and then to the layout with a certain mood, in the picture theme is also trying to be unique, such as posing POSE will be put on a demented, decadent expression, the selection of angles often appear some unexpected shots. Pictures of individuality, alternative, non-mass, do not blindly follow the trend of today's popular pictures. Ferris wheels, utility poles, balloons, the ground covered with fallen leaves, the sky with large clouds, blood stains, park benches, cute little objects, with a variety of techniques to create a heart, as well as big-eyed, heavy make-up cheeks of young girls is a common theme

While today's non-mainstream trend because of the quality of the purveyor and the overall decadence of the circle of vulgarity within the atmosphere of the public questioned and accused of non-mainstream picture has also been resisted by some people. As a result, it has been boycotted by some people. However, there are still many people who do not agree with the non-mainstream teenagers, but at the same time, they are fascinated by the non-mainstream pictures. If we look at the artistry of non-mainstream, some of the popular styles of handling pictures do have their own unique beauty. The obsession of non-mainstream pictures with ferris wheels, poles, skies, balloons, and hearts objectively creates a lot of pictures that exude a breathtaking sense of aesthetics, and it also gives these otherwise mundane imagery a new significance. Innovations in lens selection, processing, and typography, as well as the idea of striving to incorporate the creator's state of mind into the image so that the atmosphere of the image changes from an objective reflection to a subjective narration, have also resulted in the non-mainstream style of pictures breaking away from the non-mainstream system and becoming a style of image processing and design on its own. Many non-mainstream picture authors themselves are not non-mainstream people, their creations draw on the style of non-mainstream images, and then the development, improvement, abandon some negative factors such as many non-mainstream photo portrait Pose wide-eyed, puffed cheeks pretending to be cute dull pattern, as well as some elements of pornography and violence, and to retain some positive elements such as the image hue of the plan and the layout of the image so that it can be more subjectively reflect a mood and atmosphere, the form is also constantly pursuing a new style and design. In terms of form, they are also constantly seeking to break away from the stereotypical patterns of the non-mainstream scene, and strive to merge with other styles. All of these make their work style has but not limited to non-mainstream style, high level of non-mainstream system pictures can also be among the professional graphic design field,

Non-mainstream pictures worthy of drawing on the advantages of

1, color saturation, strong tension, visual impact is very good

2, P picture techniques innovative, bold, often creating unexpected effects

3, Emphasize that the picture should contain some kind of emotion, so that the meaning of the photographic work itself can be extended

4, a variety of elements of the mix and match of graphic design also has a very good reference role

5, to encourage people to discover the beauty of things from very small places, non-mainstream pictures are often endowed with a pipe, a few pens, basketball frames, broken brick walls, a few weeds to the beauty of what we can't imagine, which is also a very good way for people to observe life. Observation of life is also a good inspiration

6, font typography is often to make up and break the picture composition form of the weapon, the effect is strong eye-catching.

Non-mainstream pictures need to pay attention to the shortcomings

1, modeling, which is mainly determined by the aesthetics of the people in its circle, girls like thick makeup and gazes and gills to pretend to be young, and boys like to dress in strange costumes against the light to pretend to be deep, and the gesture of making a picture of the loss of individuality, the lack of depth

2, the content of decadence and vulgarity, pornographic and violent, on the one hand, due to the author of the picture of the personal taste, on the other hand, the non-mainstream picture itself commonly used to make up and break the form of picture composition. On the other hand, the non-mainstream picture itself commonly used techniques are often intentionally or unintentionally create this atmosphere, such as LOMO, positive negative impulse and other techniques can create some very dark atmosphere, giving people a feeling of decadence

3, some of the pictures of the text of the pretentious, disease-free, untitled, use of the Martian text, the body of the brain overly, will undermine the overall sense of aesthetics.

『Netizen Overview』

Living in the inner self and putting into practice the many ideas within (for people) this kind of behavior and derivatives is called non-mainstream.

The thing goes without saying.

Explanation of non-mainstream

The so-called non-mainstream.

In fact, you are peasants coming into the city to pretend to be high-profile.

We are also from the 80s,

Why is there such a big difference in thinking?

I don't deny that you're fashionable,

you're on the cutting edge,

you're sweeping the trends...

But I'm not saying you're not.

But look what you've done!

What impact have you had on our peers?

Maybe you won't admit it,

and you think it's my fault!

Criminal evidence

The men and women who imitate the non-mainstream,

have all learned a set of begging stance - the inside-out stance.

They chose to walk with their feet coiled up,

giving a feeling of floating and elasticity,

From the back they thought they had hemorrhoids on their inner thighs,

From the front they thought they had some unclean things stuck in their hips.

You could have walked better,

like throwing your feet straight in a spirited manner and weighing them.

Why do you have to be so sick?

With some laziness and out of step,

Panicked feet and hands stalking down the road...

Criminal evidence two

163 albums inside,

Many young boys and girls have chosen to take PS,

and the production of pictures of the software to develop their own appearance.

Such as the whole flower in the head up,

They do some strange expression,

Besides write the strange words,

What "my loneliness is because of your departure",

"This woman is so charming to make my heart ache"...

Roll your mother's bean curd does not dip in the dried seabean pepper!

Funny?

What is your purpose?

It's RTHK? Or maybe it's a cover story...

Female dolls can make their eyelashes as long as they want,

with a box of matches on top!

The men put up their glasses and their mouths,

and the camera comes down on them,

and their hair grows longer and shorter!

These pictures and colors remind me of the posters of the victims of the tragedy that were put up in front of the commune by the farmers who wanted to turn over a new leaf.

These pictures and colors remind me of the days of turmoil.

These posters were put up in front of the commune by the farmers who wanted to turn over a new leaf.

Wearing clothes is also a weird phenomenon!

Society allows you to dress colorfully,

I don't mean that, just that you are too much,

Into the store to press to use the least amount of fabric,

Color the most high-profile to buy,

Sun hats to bring the kind of leakage of wind and do not prevent the sun,

Glasses color is more than the sun is also harsh color,

The belt is the leather products with needles and thorns,

How can we say that the most important thing is that you can not buy the most expensive products, but you should not buy them in the market. p>The more jewelry you have on your hands, the better!

On the other hand, if you're going anywhere, you're going to want to carry a bag more than you have to,

They're going to want to carry a bag more than you have to.

This is a non-mainstream,

The body can wear the place all at once full!

The bracelet 8 8 wear up, this is not enough!

And also in the hand wrapped some rope rope with a belt,

Ears above the piercing hole than their own 5 officers of the 7 holes are more than a few eyes out!

The socks are the same color, and in the summer it is not hot, the socks are mentioned in the ksitel!

Wearing shorts with a piece of cloth on the front!

Dear friends, don't you have prickly heat?

The body is the defense level oh...

Non-mainstream is to promote individuality, alternative, non-mass, do not blindly follow today's popular trends, pay attention to their own nature of the heart of the clothing, clothing, speech and behavior. Non-mainstream means that it is not the most popular thing... That is, relatively ahead of the curve or lagging behind from the number of people, the pursuit of non-mainstream people accounted for a relatively small number, more called the mainstream

Non-mainstream has several characteristics:

1, can not be precisely defined or so far there is no conclusive.

2, is in the process of change, or there are still large changes.

The mainstream of things, should be said to be a relatively stable whole, the internal movement may be violent, but still follow the established laws and regulations, the result is predictable.

The non-mainstream should maintain its vitality. This vitality does not refer to its existence or being in operation or not, but to its ability to create. Many non-mainstream things, once they lose their creativity, even though their form is still non-mainstream, then there are only two endings: one, annihilation; two, assimilation. For example, the hippie trend, once lost its specific historical creativity, can not keep pace with the times to develop their own ideas, but also gradually reduced to a fashion. And the inability to define it exactly or the lack of a definitive definition is a reflection of the creativity that non-mainstream things possess.

Non-mainstream of course is not to follow the popular trend of things, alternative, flamboyant, or more accurately said to be in line with the behavior of our personal psychology. Or ahead of the curve, or lagging behind. But, there is a possibility that non-mainstream can be transformed into mainstream.

Most of the time, non-mainstream subjects are difficult to be accepted by the mass society. Non-mainstream is a kind of experience, and as an experience, it is inevitable to go through the behavior of the subject's feeling thinking and behavior. Then, the more common saying is that the non-mainstream guys always show a kind of personality. This personality is bound to be strong, otherwise it will be annihilated in the **** sex of the masses.
