-In any [[historiography]] of '''''subculture''''', the term ''subculture'' itself is related to four other terms. ''[[Counterculture]]'', a term used during 20th century discourse; ''[[avant-garde]]'', a fin de siècle term; ''[[underground]]'', again 20th century; ''[[alternative culture]]'', a late 20th century term.+

-''Subculture'' itself, which was first recorded with reference to humans in 1936, so that makes it again a 20th century term.+

-As far as the connotations of our field go, ''counterculture'' is political; ''alternative'' less so but still to some degree; ''avant-garde'' is artistic in nature, although it started as a political term; ''underground'' has criminal/cultural connotations; the term subculture has mainly a cultural [[undertone]] (see [[overtone]]).+
