Mainstream things should be said to be a relatively stable whole. The internal movement may be violent, but it still follows the existing rules and regulations, and the results are predictable. For example, if you travel through a travel agency, the tour guide will probably have a map of the itinerary, attractions, and tourists' reactions today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, and there will be no big changes. If you travel alone on horseback, it is impossible to predict what you will encounter today: such as social reaction, traffic regulations, supplementary horse feed, accommodation, etc., there are a series of problems. But in ancient times, traveling on horseback was a very common way and the mainstream way. Today it has become non-mainstream, which is also the result of changes in the world.

Non-mainstream is the reverse thinking of the mainstream. It should be kept alive. This vitality does not refer to whether it exists or is running, but to its ability to create. Once many non-mainstream things lose their creativity, even though their form is still non-mainstream, there are only two endings:

First, elimination;

Second, assimilation. For example, once the hippie trend lost its specific historical creativity and could not develop its own ideas with the times, it gradually became a fashion.

The inability to be accurately defined or inconclusive is a reflection of the creativity of non-mainstream things. For example, when the R&B style was born, it was not just useless talk about the current style. Also because of its sharp and barbaric origins, it is full of tension and difficult to be accommodated by mass society. 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 in the mainstream, a buzzword, commercialized, and then displayed and sold in shop windows around the world.

These are non-mainstream things that have become mainstream. More non-mainstream things are being produced, but underground or in corners, unknown to anyone. In a sense, non-mainstream represents the development trend of society, the source of vitality for human progress, the mutated gene fragments in the social body, and the seat of creativity. Therefore, please do not regard non-mainstream news as entertainment and gossip. If you feel that the non-mainstream is shallow, then unfortunately, it only proves that you are really mediocre (usually, the real non-mainstream will not be considered mediocre, and the "non-mainstream" phenomenon in today's society does not fall into this category. More details below). Because we have lost our self-confidence and grandeur, we have no courage to continue to create and accept things that have never happened before, and we exist in the world like a zombie. Isn't this the so-called hell?

Psychologically speaking, the mainstream always wants to confirm something, establish something, delineate something, and maintain something. . . However, the original appearance of the world does not exist because of people. By constantly discovering, discovering, rediscovering, creating and recreating, the understanding of the world will become deeper, and of course it will become more complex and profound. This is bound to be a great way to kill brain cells. Non-mainstream people not only destroy themselves, but also the world around them. Therefore, most of the time, non-mainstream subjects are difficult to be accepted by mass society. This is actually the case in history. The so-called history is often the popular version of history, rather than the historical truth.

Being non-mainstream is an experience, and as an experience, it must go through the subject's feelings, thinking and behavior. Well, a more popular saying is that non-mainstream guys can always show a personality. This kind of personality must be strong, otherwise it will be lost in all living beings with sexual nature. In fact, all living beings have personality, but it is very weak. Most of the seeds of personality are not enough to break through their own chaff, let alone take root and sprout and blossom into gorgeous flowers that others can see. Therefore, not everyone has the expression of personality.

However, the so-called personality seems to be expressed through words and deeds. Words and deeds must always follow certain rules and regulations. Therefore, there is the possibility to imitate and learn. Conspirators with relatively advanced IQs can then deliberately deceive the world and steal their reputation by deliberately speaking out, such as the Taoist priests from Mount Zhongnan. These non-mainstream words and deeds are actually dead. The buzzwords and products that have cut off the roots of thought are martial arts secrets that can be widely distributed and sold. They are destined to be unable to move forward. That's why there have been thousands of years of ghost tricks and moral defenders and all kinds of so-called masters.

The mainstream should be the popular cultural values ??of an era.

Of course, non-mainstream is not something that follows popular cultural values. It is alternative and flamboyant, or to be more precise, it is behavior that conforms to our personal psychology. Either ahead or behind. However, it is possible for the non-mainstream to transform into the mainstream.

What is Non-mainstream? Non-mainstream means that it is not the most popular and common in the same category.

The definition of material is as follows: the current mainstream CPUs are Intel's Celeron, Pentium, Core 2 Duo, etc., and the much-anticipated Core 2 Extreme is too expensive, resulting in a small consumer base, and only a few people use it. This is a non-mainstream CPU. Of course, mainstream and non-mainstream are not limited to price factors. They are mainly determined by the audience level and the number of users. Of course, this term can also be used in many fields such as writing style and consumer goods.

In addition, the word "non-mainstream" that we commonly use now is mostly used in dressing and grooming. It means to show individuality, alternativeness and non-popularity, which means fashion trend. In other words, fashionable and avant-garde means having "personality" and is suitable for the taste of today's young people. Non-mainstream has good aspects and shortcomings. The following mainly introduces this aspect.

Mainstream (conventional fixed model):

Mainstream cultural values ??usually appear to be stable structures to the outside world. As the name suggests, mainstream does not refer to the pursuit of fashion trends - it refers to a kind of values ??and outlook on life that have been accepted by the vast majority. (Those who do not accept the true mainstream views are not the followers of the social phenomenon now called non-mainstream - but refer to idealistic philosophers such as Nietzsche.)

Non-mainstream (unconventional flow patterns ):

Niche cultural values ??are incompatible with real values. Haizi, who committed suicide by lying on the train, and Van Gogh, who committed suicide with a gun, are both representatives of non-mainstream niche cultural values.

Non-mainstream phenomena (accidental phenomena arising under special social background):

Go against the grain! It is rebellious, flamboyant, wild, weird...a few people show off their own fashionable alternative style! < /p>

According to research, the non-mainstream ancestor originated from the Punk culture in the 1970s, represented by Gothic rock and Visual rock. Punk culture belongs to post-modern nihilism. It expresses emotions such as anger, destruction, and death through bizarre costumes with strong visual impact. It is popular among rock musicians and fans.

In the late 1990s, a new form of expression emerged from Punk culture, which incorporated Pop elements, became more diversified in visual expression techniques, and began to express some melancholy and sad themes. , so the Emo culture was born, and Emo is the abbreviation of Emotional. Emo culture also originated in the field of music, but soon became a fashion style and became popular among teenagers around the world. The emerging non-mainstream in China is Emo culture. Let’s compare the non-mainstream in Europe, America, Japan, and China.

·What is "non-mainstream phenomenon"? What does “non-mainstream phenomenon” mean?

Answer: Non-mainstream, I don’t want to use mainstream to define it. Because it is easy to fall into the paradox of which came first, the chicken or the egg.

Non-mainstream has several characteristics:

1. It cannot be accurately defined or there is no conclusion so far.

2. It is changing, or there are still major changes.

The mainstream should be the popular trend of an era.

Answer: "Non-mainstream phenomenon" refers to clothing that is individual, flamboyant, and alternative. We do not blindly follow the current public trends and pay attention to clothing that is in line with our own temperament. And it continues to spread in the pursuit of individuality, resulting in social phenomena

"Non-mainstream phenomenon" fashion means that it is not the most popular thing... that is, it is relatively advanced or lagging.

In order to avoid people’s misunderstanding of non-mainstream cultural groups, in this entry, the special social phenomena arising in the post-80s and post-90s groups are called “non-mainstream phenomena”. "Non-mainstream phenomenon" originated from an emerging non-mainstream culture. After being widely alienated, it became a social phenomenon without cultural connotation.

In terms of number of people, those who pursue "non-mainstream" fashion account for a relatively small number. If there are more people, it is called mainstream fashion.

Where there is mainstream there is non-mainstream. Mainstream and non-mainstream exist. The literal meaning is as follows: HipHop, R&B or Blues is mainstream in Western society. In the past, it was non-mainstream in China, but now it is gradually moving towards non-mainstream status. The ones that are gradually losing their mainstream status are those like the Little Tigers. It can also be called "experimental", "avant-garde", and "pioneer", which means alternative.

Non-mainstream refers to various cultural values ??outside the mainstream, which may be relatively advanced or lagging, rational or extreme, and there are relatively few (more) people who pursue such values. It’s called mainstream).

A friend asked me what is non-mainstream?

In fact, you are non-mainstream

Because there will be no people who are exactly like you in the world< /p>

In this way, I am also non-mainstream

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

People who do not have their own way of thinking no matter how strange this person is He's just a pseudo-non-mainstream person

People who blindly follow trends are playing with other people's things

Can't really find themselves

Maybe that's their personality< /p>

My personality is that I have no personality

Personality is not appearance

Personality is thinking

·The relationship between non-mainstream and mainstream

Where there is mainstream, there is non-mainstream. Mainstream and non-mainstream do not exist. There are many types of non-mainstream, but there is only one mainstream in any era. The relationship between mainstream and non-mainstream is just like the relationship between the ruling party and other opposition parties. The mainstream can become mainstream because it is accepted by the public. In theory, a non-mainstream culture can change its position with the mainstream culture, just like the ruling party steps down and an opposition party comes to power. But "non-mainstream phenomena" cannot, because "non-mainstream phenomena" are superficial material phenomena without cultural connotations. However, as a kind of culture, the non-mainstream that gave birth to the "non-mainstream phenomenon" is qualified to "govern."

·The embarrassing current situation of non-mainstream

The original meaning of non-mainstream is a representative term for a petty bourgeoisie and a niche circle, but it has been seriously vulgarized in China. The so-called non-mainstream now is no longer non-mainstream in the true sense, but a superficial social phenomenon arising in a special era.

Almost all the non-mainstream content and related websites searched on the Internet are nothing more than stolen photos from some 163 and sohu photo albums, trendy websites or some well-known blogs, pirated fashion brand clothing, and stolen excellent products. The designer's work is then labeled with the maliciously hyped keyword "non-mainstream", or it is a Google Picasa advertisement. Google has stated that it is just a photo management tool, and then it is maliciously hyped by those "non-mainstream" webmasters in order to make money. After collecting the advertising fees, we promoted it to a certain extent to induce and deceive those members to come and download. Google never expected that after spending so much money, its brand would be ruined by these unqualified webmasters in China. Today's "non-mainstream" even those who are truly anti-traditional and fringe are disgusted, and even some fashionable people sneer at it. A representative word of a very bourgeois and niche circle has been so hyped.

Non-mainstream in China has become a tool for a certain group of people to escape reality and find spiritual solace.

And non-mainstream has also lost its original profound connotation and meaning. In China, thousands of young people are stuck in those obscure and decadent texts. In the confusion of young people, being non-mainstream becomes an excuse for them to evade social responsibilities and self-responsibility. In other words, they are a decadent mess. However, in real life, there is really no one or thing that can make them so decadent.

The profound concepts embodied in the non-mainstream are also misinterpreted as decadence, sadness, pain and other words that are very popular among the younger generation today.

As this netizen said, even those who are truly anti-traditional and fringe people are disgusted.

Pictures: I like strange and unusual pictures, such as putting on various strange expressions when posing. I like PS pictures.

Music: Powerful, avant-garde, trendy, etc. music is welcomed.

Q Q: Non-mainstream people will definitely make their QQ personalized signatures and information dazzling.

Space: Their QQ space is very fancy and very personalized~ Cao Zhu is all non-mainstream modules, non-mainstream FLASH, and sad language!

Dating: Non-mainstream people like to make friends, and they will like all kinds of dating websites.

Games: non-mainstream games, even AU, AU games are a symbol of non-mainstream. As we all know, AU is very popular for a while, and the people who play it are very non-mainstream! And they all like to take pictures of the keyboard!

"Most of the time, non-mainstream subjects are difficult to be accepted by mass society. This is actually the case in history. The so-called history is often It is the popular version of history, rather than taking the historical truth as history.” This is what is said above: “What the mainstream always wants to confirm, establish, demarcate, and maintain” is the dominant thinking of most people. It will not be overturned, because the "non-mainstream" are a minority after all. Through the issue of "mainstream" and "non-mainstream", it is expanded to history or the world. Just like the saying "the truth is often in the hands of a few people" also means that some things can be overturned by a few people; but after all, there are still Many things are impossible and helpless.

Once many non-mainstream things lose their creativity, although their form is still non-mainstream, there are only two endings: first, elimination; second, assimilation. For example, once the hippie trend lost its specific historical creativity and could not develop its own ideas with the times, it gradually became a fashion.

These are non-mainstream things that have become mainstream. More non-mainstream things are being produced, but they are unknown underground or in corners.

Because we have lost our self-confidence and grandeur, and have no courage to continue to create and accept things that have never happened before, we exist in the world like a zombie. Isn't this the so-called hell?

·Non-mainstream and people’s individuality

Let’s talk about another question. If “non-mainstream” people can show their individuality properly, they will be appreciated and accepted; If you are too alternative or go too far, it is not good. It will not only destroy your own image, but also lead some people to follow suit, thereby destroying the image of society or the image of a country. This is the so-called "non-mainstream destroys not only itself, but also the surrounding world."

Mainstream things should be said to be a relatively stable whole. The internal movement may be violent, but it still follows the existing laws and regulations. As a rule, the results are predictable. For example, if you travel through a travel agency, the tour guide will probably have a map of the itinerary, attractions, and tourists' reactions today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, and there will be no big changes. If you travel alone on horseback, it is impossible to predict what you will encounter today: such as social reaction, traffic law restrictions, horse feed supplements, accommodation, etc., there are a series of problems. But in ancient times, traveling on horseback was a very common way and the mainstream way. Today it has become non-mainstream, which is also the result of changes in the world.

The inability to be accurately defined or inconclusive is a reflection of the creativity of non-mainstream things. For example, when the R&B style was born, it was not just useless talk about the current style. Also because of its sharp and barbaric origins, it is full of tension and difficult to be accommodated by mass society.

But non-mainstream has now become a mainstream fashion.

Non-mainstream, I don’t want to use mainstream to define it. Because it is easy to fall into the paradox of which came first, the chicken or the egg.

In my opinion, non-mainstream has several characteristics:

1. As for mainstream culture, it cannot be accurately defined or there is no final conclusion so far.

2. It is changing, or there are still major changes. However, the so-called personality seems to be expressed through words and deeds. Words and deeds must always follow certain rules and regulations. Therefore, there is the possibility to imitate and learn. Conspirators with relatively advanced IQs can then deliberately deceive the world and steal their reputation by deliberately speaking out, such as the Taoist priests from Mount Zhongnan.

3. It has not been recognized by mainstream culture, or cannot be recognized by mainstream culture.

·The dialectical relationship between non-mainstream and trend

Mainstream is the popular cultural value of an era. Of course, non-mainstream is not something that follows the values ??of popular culture. It is something alternative and flamboyant, or to be more precise, it is behavior that conforms to our personal psychology. Either ahead or behind. However, it is possible for the non-mainstream to transform into the mainstream. Non-mainstream is a trend and the pursuit of distinctive individualism. But there are too many people who believe in this cultural value, which means that the non-mainstream has become the mainstream.

If you imitate again, are you not following the crowd? What do you mean by different species? Everything has two sides, and being non-mainstream cannot be special. I admit that some people dress up in non-mainstream decorations and they do look good. However, I personally think that imitating the non-mainstream is okay. The key is to imitate the good aspects of it, rather than imitating something like "taking a knife and pulling your wrist, and then making a blood-sucking look." This is not individuality, this is not cool! This is self-harm! There are many things to do when people live in this world! Even if there are some things you don’t want to do from the bottom of your heart, you can’t change society, you can only adapt to it! (For example, you always have to eat, and you always have to spend money to eat! You always have to make money, and you can’t rely on your parents all your life, right?) Some non-mainstream followers have always known their personality and differences. wrong! However, you can't just play and do nothing all day long, right? It is right to follow the non-mainstream, but it is wrong to numb yourself and degenerate yourself while following the non-mainstream! As for non-mainstream clothing, I personally imitate it if it suits me. If it doesn’t suit me, don’t make others laugh! Some people have youthful and cute looks, so there is nothing wrong with imitating non-mainstream people. But if you are naturally more mature and you deliberately imitate, it will look like you are imitating someone else and make people laugh.

·Advice on "non-mainstream phenomena"

In summary, when anything comes to us, we do not need to blindly imitate and follow it, but we do not need to follow it blindly. Necessity will appear like a scourge! I personally think: If non-mainstream is really suitable for you and you like it, follow it, but at the same time, you should keep your eyes open to distinguish the good and bad parts of non-mainstream, learn its advantages and eliminate its shortcomings. There is no perfect thing in the world, and the same is true for non-mainstream people. But it makes sense to exist. Non-mainstream has indeed affected some people in our society. But what I want to advise is: I hope that those who like non-mainstream and imitate it, while you are "non-mainstream", you must maintain a positive attitude towards life, and do not use decadent and perverted lifestyles to interpret "non-mainstream" trends. Don't let those who are not very fond of non-mainstream sneer when they mention non-mainstream, but raise their thumbs and say: "Non-mainstream people, good job!" Don't use "sucking your own blood, living decadently, skipping school and fighting, Chaotic sex..." to show non-mainstream style. You should use a non-mainstream style to interpret a positive life, and you are a real non-mainstream person!

How should the "older generation" treat non-mainstream people?

For the non-mainstream, the "older generation" does not need to blindly imitate and follow, as if they are afraid of falling behind, but there is no need to despise or look down upon! Perhaps in the eyes of the "older generation", non-mainstream represents radicalness, risk-taking, immaturity and instability! However, if you look closely, you will see that the non-mainstream still has certain "accomplishments". Its confidence, grandeur, creativity, and brave attempts at new things...these are all worth learning from the "older generation"! The "older generation" must learn to accept the non-mainstream, enrich themselves with non-mainstream content, and use non-mainstream ideas to inject new blood into themselves to make themselves more energetic and stronger! In addition, the "older generation" should not feel ashamed and feel that they cannot hold their heads up in front of the non-mainstream. Maybe the "older generation" of the non-mainstream feels that they are indeed "old" and not as energetic as the non-mainstream, but "old" The "older generation" has maturity, stability, wisdom and unlimited vision... the "older generation" can ride the wind and waves, the "older generation" can bravely retreat from the rapids, the "older generation" has rich experience, and the "older generation" also has the courage to accept new things! Therefore, the "older generation" and non-mainstream people each take the lead! There is no need for the “older generation” to feel inferior!

Note: The "older generation" refers to those born before 1980, that is, those born before 1980.

·Mars Script

Martian Script, "Mars Script" is composed of symbols, traditional Chinese characters, Japanese, Korean, rare characters and other non-standardized text symbols. At first glance, it looks like garbled characters or typos. The usage is not as standardized as Chinese characters, and it is impossible to understand it literally. In fact, "Martian Wen" became popular as a game term in Bubble Hall a few years ago, and then quickly spread through QQ information and chat, becoming the preferred language for many young people. According to research, "Martian Literature" originated in Taiwan, my country. For the convenience of typing, some netizens originally used phonetic characters to replace some commonly used characters to communicate online, achieving the effect of typing quickly and understanding the content. Soon, some Taiwanese netizens felt that this kind of text was different and eye-catching, so they promoted this input method. With the popularity of online games for young people such as "Audition" in the mainland, this trend has entered the mainland through online games and other channels. A new generation of "post-90s" netizens have begun to continue this unique text and create their own characters suitable for simplified Chinese. Input methods to play, such as "laborer", "boyfriend", "pinkenai", "who are you?" They are some homophonic words. When the number of users and the new phrases reached a certain scale, some Internet experts who were keen on software development appeared and produced special software for "Mars". Among the popular software on the Internet are "Big Black Fish" and other software. The emergence of conversion software gave "Mars Text" a password function, and it became a method for a group to protect their privacy. Among the audience, the new generation of "post-90s" groups have become followers and disseminators of Martian literature, which has seriously misled China's new young generation.

Martian script is just a circle language with great influence. In fact, due to the convenience of the Internet, everyone can form circles with others according to their own interests. According to their characteristics, these circles have produced "Mars culture", which is also called "small circle slang". Of course, it is difficult for people outside the circle to understand what it means.

To be non-mainstream means to show individuality, to be alternative, to be non-popular, not to blindly follow the current public trends, but to pay attention to clothing, clothing, words and deeds that are in line with one's own character. Non-mainstream means something that is not the most popular...that is, relatively advanced or lagging. In terms of numbers, those who pursue non-mainstream pursuits account for a relatively small number. If there are more people, they are called mainstream.

Where there is mainstream, there is non-mainstream. Mainstream and non-mainstream do not exist. Literally speaking, for example: HipHop, R&B or Blues is mainstream in Western society, but it used to be non-mainstream in China, but now it is gradually moving towards mainstream status and gradually losing mainstream status, just like the Little Tigers. of. It can also be called "experimental", "avant-garde" and "pioneer", which means "alternative".

Non-mainstream pictures are alternative and strange pictures. Usually the color balance of the picture is specially processed and arranged, often using the light source to darken the picture, LOMO effect, negative processing, black and white effect, 6-pixel blur , soft light, melted images, brushes, scattered text with different fonts, special angles, etc. to create picture effects, striving to make the picture have a certain mood from composition to color to layout. The theme of the picture is also Strive to be unique. For example, when posing, you will pretend to be demented and decadent. When choosing angles, you will often get some unexpected shots. Pictures that promote individuality, alternativeness, non-popularity, and do not blindly follow today's popular trends. Ferris wheels, telegraph poles, balloons, a ground covered with fallen leaves, a sky with large clouds, blood stains, park benches, cute little objects, hearts made with various techniques, and a girl with big eyes and heavy makeup and bulging cheeks are all Its common themes.

Although today's non-mainstream trends have been questioned and criticized by the public due to the quality of their communicators and the overall decadent and vulgar atmosphere in their circles, non-mainstream pictures have also been boycotted by some people. However, there are still many people who are obsessed with non-mainstream pictures even though they do not agree with non-mainstream teenagers. From the perspective of their own artistry, some of the popular non-mainstream picture processing styles do have their own unique beauty. The non-mainstream pictures’ persistence in ferris wheels, telegraph poles, sky, balloons and heart shapes have objectively created a lot for us. The pictures exuding a suffocating beauty also give these originally ordinary images a new meaning. Innovations in lens selection, processing, and layout, as well as the concept of integrating the creator's mood into the image, changing the image atmosphere from objective reflection to subjective narrative, have also enabled non-mainstream style pictures to break away from the non-mainstream system and become independent A style of image processing and design. Many non-mainstream photo authors are not non-mainstream people themselves. Their creations draw on the styles of non-mainstream images, develop and improve them, and abandon some negative factors, such as many non-mainstream photos of portraits with eyes wide open and cheeks bulging. Cute and rigid stereotypes, as well as some pornographic and violent elements, while retaining some positive elements such as the planning and layout of image tones, so that it can more subjectively reflect a mood and atmosphere. In form, it also constantly pursues to break the fixed stereotypes in non-mainstream circles. mode, and strive to integrate with other styles. All these enable their work styles to include but are not limited to non-mainstream styles. High-level non-mainstream pictures can also enter the field of professional graphic design.
