When and where did subculture start?
The concept of subculture emerged in the early 20th century among sociologists studying groups with distinct beliefs and customs within a larger society. It gained prominence in the 1950s and 1960s with the rise of youth countercultures in the United Kingdom and the United States, such as the beatniks and hippies. These subcultures often formed in urban centers like London and New York as a form of resistance to mainstream norms.

What is the relationship among culture subculture and counterculture?
First of all, culture is a very subjective term. For the most part, the average individual will view one's culture in direct relation to the country or nationality that an individual grew up in. However, culture can be a much more intricate and personal thing for most, where one's culture is more defined by their immediate surroundings (people, places, events, etc.). I believe that most people have a hard enough time relating their own personal sense of culture to the world's idea of what their culture should be. Therefore, in many cases, a person's own sense of their cultural influences could be considered subculture. Of course, the traditional definition of subculture would indicate that there are more specific cultures that exist within larger and more broadly defined cultures. However, I believe this definition is redundant when one considers how an individual's sense of culture is really the essence of a subculture. As far as counterculture is concerned, I am not completely familiar with this term, but my understanding leads me to believe that counterculture is the subculture that exists within and beneath the individual's sense of subculture. These forms of counterculture generally collide and form opposites to the average person's idea of a region's overarching cultural influence. War and aggression in regions of peace and equality....close-mindedness and hatred in a region where understanding and acceptance are the norm. Terrorism, then, could be considered a global form of counterculture that seeks to dislodge any sense of security that one's culture might have provided. Of course, this too is subjective....
What are examples of subcultures in the US?
Subcultures are a segment of society that shares a distinctive pattern of mores (serious norms; norms with laws attached to them), folkways (casual norms), and values that differ from the pattern of the larger society. Examples of this would be, graffiti subculture, the "emo" (or new wave punk) subculture, wrestling, football, basketball or sport subcultures, so on and so forth. Countercultures are a type of subculture that deliberately opposes certain aspects of larger society (this is usually arguable). For example, hippies in the 60s, anarchists, the KKK, most gangs, and MLK Jr. (in his own time at least, him and his followers would be grouped a kind of counterculture.)

Is there a counterculture today?
Actually no, there is no counterculture today. True countercultures died out in the 1970s however I think the grunge movement of the 90s can be considered a counterculture. Today everything for the most part is mainstream in some way and people who think they are rebelling are actually fitting in with a crowd. There is no true political, sociological, or psychological movement that goes against mainstream norms. We'll never have hippies or beatniks again because it would/ already has become trendy and accepted in mainstream society.
