Counterculture Tryouts in The Common Era

As it becomes harder and harder to say what is mainstream, cultural group norms and values are continually questioned, labeled, and attempted to be identified; Everyone seeking to establish their personal brand and identity, wanting to be labeled anything but common. Seeking these individual motives, is well, what us brand philosophers find riveting.

I'm back in MN after making a stop in VA to attend the VCU Brandcenter, where it taught me about Creative Brand Management and more importantly about myself... When asked to define us, most answers would be influenced by the culture in which we were raised, or the culture we stand in today. Cultural impact has transformed into a powerful yet ambiguous term. In a world that has culture surrounding us all day with different messages and images, we are to decide which ones are unique and make us stand out, while continuing to be accepted by the lifestyles and values of the established culture. These are messages and images speaking to thousands of micro acculturate communities that seem to still fall under the umbrella of one macro culture... This blog is nothing but a template to showcase events, ideas, art, language, poems, music, design, ads, pictures, and anything else that sparks thought provoking discussion on how it may influence one or many individuals. In these tangible and intangible objects that influence us for better or worse, why do some die and some thrive in our culture where everyone wants what the umbrella keeps dry: a reason to believe.
