The difference between "subculture" and "non-mainstream";

1, the range is different. Subculture refers to non-mainstream and local cultural phenomena corresponding to mainstream culture, covering non-mainstream culture. Non-mainstream can only be regarded as a manifestation of subculture.

2. The broad masses have different degrees of recognition. Because subculture is a social psychological environment that directly affects or acts on people's survival, its influence is often greater than that of mainstream culture. It can give people an identifiable identity and a special mental outlook and temperament belonging to a certain group or collective. Non-mainstream is non-mainstream, not recognized by the broad masses, not everyday things.

3. Modern society presents different ways. The subculture mainly includes otaku, Martians and Brony: fans of the American animation Rainbow Pony, who are widely distributed enough to form a subculture. Non-mainstream forms of expression: I like weird pictures, such as pretending to be stupid and decadent when posing. Dressing is different from the public, hair style is exaggerated, music explodes, life is rebellious and radical, and personality is strong.

Non-mainstream text "Martians"

"Martian" is composed of symbols, traditional Chinese characters, Japanese, Korean, rare words and other non-standard characters. At first glance, words that look like garbled or misspelled characters are not as standardized as Chinese characters, and they are literally incomprehensible. In fact, "Martian" became popular as a game term in the bubble hall several years ago, and then spread rapidly through QQ materials and chats, becoming the language of many young people.

With the popularity of younger online games such as Dance Troupe in Chinese mainland, this trend has also entered the mainland with online games and other channels. A batch of new generation of "post-80s" and "post-90s" netizens began to continue this unique writing style and create their own input methods suitable for simplified Chinese, such as "labor", "male friends", "pink cute" and "who are you". When the crowd and the use of new phrases formed a certain scale, some network experts who were keen on software development made special software for "Martian", and some software such as "Big Black Fish" became popular on the Internet.
