Despite their beliefs and behaviour diverging in unique ways, subcultures have persistently danced on the edge of societal norms.

This research got us wondering what else might be on the cusp of moving into the mainstream, and where opportunities could be for other brands.

This research is part of The Identity Series, where every year we explore aspects of life that touch on people’s identity.
