My benchmark is how much social capital one stands to lose by admitting to be a member. If you're still admitting to be a Juggalo despite knowing what's associated with it, and how the mainstream is going to treat you, you're fine with those people being "your people" without anyone else.

Exactly. If mainstream accepts you, you aren't counterculture. Real counter-culture isn't "cool" .

Im sure there are other countercultures besides Juggalos; US Wahabis, religious polygamists, ect.
