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.
