WHAT DOES COUNTERCULTURAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

countercultural

Counterculture

A counterculture is a subculture whose values and norms of behavior differ substantially from those of mainstream society, often in opposition to mainstream cultural mores. A countercultural movement expresses the ethos and aspirations of a specific population during a well-defined era. When oppositional forces reach critical mass, countercultures can trigger dramatic cultural changes. Prominent examples of countercultures in Europe and North America include Romanticism, Bohemianism, the more fragmentary counterculture of the Beat Generation, and perhaps most prominently, the counterculture of the 1960s, usually associated with the hippie subculture.
