Philosophy: Alternative Subcultures

What defines punk, indie, goth or any subculture.. I'm mean just now I'm thinking about their philosophy summed up in a sentence, Bohemian culture would be to revel in every extreme and everything is a shared experience..or so I'm told.

Punk culture is a culture of freedom, self exploration and DIY (do it yourself) ethics.

Indie rock culture is about irony, mild self mockery and I'm not quite sure quite what the ethics are..

maybe I'm just tossing generalizations around. too many comics read today. ...mostly questionable content.

SHINIES + BPAL REVIEW

I got shinies in the mail today!

I got little blue teddy-shaped tarts that smell like vanilla ice cream. This is my first time recieving tarts and I've never really used one before. I think I also got some sample slices of soap too that are REALLY pretty.. and a teenytiny little purple compact that is filled with the strongest lavender smelling lotion I have ever come into contact with. mmhhm.

Also I got my imps with this order, the other stuff=freebies!

Whitechapel: White musk, lime, lilac, Citron. A gentlemen's blend that maskes the soulless form underneath.
In bottle: whoa holybugnuts. Strong lime. like squeezed before the margarita lime. Mom'll love this.

Purple Phoenix: Anniversary scent, stuff in it later
In Bottle: oooh. This smells like Imp without the nasty musk undertone and more tang. <3

Glitter: ...ooh. I should have gotten a bottle of this. This is like a more refined clinique happy. A colder one too. mmhm.

Attack of the Edit: ...shit. I just realized I missed out on the annual old world christmas fair yesterday. =< No photos with saint nick, shiny booths or old world brats and saurerkraut.
