If so when did it turn into a SUB CULTURE.  WHY? Which of the six Cultural Dimensions is best represented by this movement?]]> 2016-12-05 20:30:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/141878471 ichew https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/141882324 2016-12-05 20:47:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/141882324 https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/142207562 House music was never a counter culture; it has been and still is at best a sub-culture mainly due to the fact of its evolution from electronic music/techno. House music really hit the mainstream once Skrillex entered the scene with his hard hitting non-apologetic style of house which we now call dubstep, Skrillex of course didn’t create dubstep but he brought it to the masses, especially with his 2011 tour “The Mothership” pioneered house music festivals for years to come. Out of the six cultural dimensions, uncertainty avoidance index is one that represents the evolution of house music festivals, house music in the beginning was something hard to understand, people are used to rock, metal, rap, and other genres that people are used to, so there was uncertainty on whether house music was going to prosper and flourish or flop and disappear from our ears, but it is now prevalent now that EDM festivals are here, and they’re not going anywhere.]]> 2016-12-07 06:49:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/142207562 habiba_allam6464 https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/142207796 This article talks about how ravers became the New Flower Children. This is considered a sub-culture due to raving not being a common cultural thing around the world, for example Egypt. Egypt is not known for being a raving place while it still exists. One of the big differences between us Egyptians and people from different cultures is that we might celebrate occasions while they do it commonly. ]]> 2016-12-07 06:53:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/142207796 habiba_allam6464 https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/142207990 I would consider Egyptian ravers to be a sub-culture because due to the Egyptian mentality of being wild and fun when it comes to having time off. For example, at weddings all we do is go crazy listening to music and dance, another example is the less cultured people of Egyptian have a wild time at local weddings. Even though that is common ravers essentially are sub-culture because in Egypt raving isn't a common thing, yet still does exist. The biggest difference would be here we do it as a celebration, there they do it for unnecessary fun, secondly, drugs play a major part here not so much.]]> 2016-12-07 06:56:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/142207990 habiba_allam6464 https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/142209792 This article is considered a sub-culture because raving is well known in various parts of the world but if i would compare it to Egypt, its not well known here but it does exist.

Compared to Egypt, Egypt loves to party, look at the major touristic places like gouna, sharm. Only those who are upperclass and go crazy all weekend know these types of music but other local Egyptians dont. this is extreme raving altho we r known for liking to go crazy and have fun but not this much or to this extent. Only those who are educated and have money like to patty and listen to these songs, others wont. It became a well known type of genre and a reconginzed one ppl rnt fightin to listen for it like metal and there are a lot of widely known festivals that encourages ppl to listen to them ]]> 2016-12-07 07:20:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/142210121 https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/142210179 House music was considered a counter culture back then, because it was different compared to the common music. Now it has changed to subculture, because It is still a minority type of music, however it is acknowledged by the world. It is still celebrated by some people, however it is not that big of a tradition to become a culture. This could be caused by power distance, because teens may have put a new standard they follow, different from the normal father son standards. ]]> 2016-12-07 07:20:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/142210179 https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/142210452 video: I don't think house was ever considered a counter culture because as far as i know, house was never not-popular. back in the 80's and 90's they had some sort of house music, yes the beats were different but it can still fit under the category of house. And to this day it is a popular sub culture, almost anyone who is not in to classic rock is into house.

Article: This article mentions ravers becoming the New Flower Children. This can be considered a sub culture because raving is not a common thing to do in the world, especially Egypt. Only a small amount of Egyptians like to rave, and for a short amount of time like in summer parties, not all the time.]]> 2016-12-07 07:23:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/142210452 https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/142211233 People evolve, and so does music. I would say that house music was considered a counterculture in the older days, because people were more into funk, jazz and blues. People were always at discos dancing to music that had a smooth beat, just like Daddy Cool. House music started turning into a subculture when new technologies were produced, and also when DJS started becoming a thing; just like David Guetta and Sam Feldt. 

Ravers became the new flower children, and Coachella is a huge representation of that. All the ravers go to coachella and music festival to party, wearing hipster clothing and acting like they don't give a damn about the world.]]> 2016-12-07 07:29:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/142211233 https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/142243284 Video:
When it was first introduced, House music was a counter culture. It was a counter culture because it was different than the music they normally listened to, like jazz, blues, and rock. People considered listeners of House music to be a part of that counter culture, not accepted. It by time turned into a subculture when more and more people started liking House and listening to it until it became one of the most popular music genres.

It was a counter culture since it was not the same as the music they ordinarily listened to, similar to jazz, and rock. Individuals considered audience members of House music to be a part of that counter culture, not acknowledged. It by time transformed into a subculture when more individuals began enjoying House and listening to it until it got to be distinctly a standout amongst the most well known music types. ]]> 2016-12-07 13:56:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/142277842 eric_banoub https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/142278786 Article: This article notices ravers turning into the New Flower Children. This can be viewed as a sub culture since raving is not a typical thing to do on the planet, particularly in Egypt. Just a little measure of Egyptians get a kick out of the chance to rave, and for a short measure of time]]> 2016-12-07 13:58:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/142278786 https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/142479743 Video continuation:

This article talks about how ravers became the New Flower Children. Ravers can be considered to be a subculture because it is not very common around the world, especially in Egypt, except in music festivals and such. In Egypt, ravers take up only a very small part of the population, so it is a subculture.]]> 2016-12-08 08:19:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/142479743 https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/142481140 Video: Housemusic is considered a counter culture. In the 90's house music was different than the other genres because the beats were different and people weren't used to it. People who listened to house music were considered different due to not being popular since rock and Jazz ruled this period of time. For example the Beatles were known for their rock music and pop music. Bohemian rhapsody is also known for there rock music]]> 2016-12-08 08:28:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/142481140 https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/142481956 i believe that house music was a counter culture back in the past because back then house music was not common and as popular as it is now. You may consider it to have always been a sub culture because it was popular back then but was not considered as house music back then. It later on evolved and new technologies were invented and house music became a popular music genre all over the world. Uncertainty avoidance is represented because it shows how house music was uncommon and kind of weird as soon as it emerged and shows us how people began to accept it and indulge into it thus becoming a famous music genre worldwide. The article also talks about ravers, people who enjoy listening to music and partying all night and how they became the new flower children. This shows how music evolves between cultures and is considered as a sub culture because raving is not common especially here in Egypt because a small percentage of the population enjoys to rave.]]> 2016-12-08 08:33:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/142481956 https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/142485534 house music back in the day was considered a counterculture while 6 years ago it was considered a subculture of music but now its considered the norm. the normal of music culture back when house music had just started was to make music using instruments and instruments only, they didnt mix technology with music very much and house music was not even considered real music. it was just a bunch of loud beeps and zips that had no correlation with what music was supposed to be. ]]> 2016-12-08 09:03:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/142485534 https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/142486196 ravers may be considered the modern day hippies. they would be considered a counter culture since back in the day the hippie culture emerged during a time of war and violence and was a culture of love peace and happiness while the western world was drawing people more towards war and violence (ie; the vietnam war) today we see the same pattern; there is a lot of violence and war in the world at the moment coming from most super powers and from communities in general. ravers have a principal of “Friede, Freude, und Eierkuchen”         ( peace, joy, and pancakes)and that shows that they are completely against violence hate and war which has become the norm nowadays. “Rave culture, despite all the negative attention it receives about its ties to club drugs, is really about togetherness,” says a raver. even though there is a certain negative stigma attached to ravers because of supposed drug use the same attitude was given towards hippies back in the day as they used drugs such as marijuana and often lsd and several other psychedelic drugs that helped people connect to their inner selves. rave music also provides almost the same feel to people as it puts them in a sort of "trance" and helps them come together in a group, connect, and just enjoy the music and each others company. ]]> 2016-12-08 09:06:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/142486196 https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/142486246 2016-12-08 09:07:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/142486246 https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/142520521 Ravers are known for the Electric Daisy electronic dance music (EDM), they manged to have 400,000 old people in Las Vagas. This is a modern day known for the hippies. The ravers would be known as a subculture because they are known in some countries but in Egypt maybe the hippies would know them.  They are known in festivals but they aren't a big name. For example Maroon 5 are known worldwide, its not targeted for Hippes.]]> 2016-12-08 12:41:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/142520521 https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture3/wish/142699257 Egyptian ravers are a sub-culture due to the Egyptian mind base of being very enthusiastic and crazy when they are at their comes time off. This article talks about how ravers became the New Flower Children. Egypt is not known for being a raving place while it still exists. One of the big differences between us Egyptians and people from different cultures is that the celebrations of occasions differentiate from person to person, some Egyptians celebrate Halloween, some do not but celebrate Easter.
