I was just interested in gaining a better understanding of it myself. I'm aware of the "woo-woo" crunch insanity that proliferates in those circles. I'm agnostic, and the only people who I can find that are of a similar persuasion tend to collect at those sorts of events.
Before the "fall", that used to be my community. I can't say I belived everything that was popular in that world, but I enjoyed the open minded-ness of the people I met through it. I ended up engaged to someone from that world.
The "Metal Community" here is pretty fucking racist, despite what some may say. So I don't do so well there. That's the only other subculture that I would like to be a part of.
The new age hippies are pretty chill when it comes to race.
As it currently stands, I belong no-where. And I'm capable of sniffing out snake oil salesmen/women.
Sensible. The open mindedness is a major benefit of the alternative mob. Sounds like a plan.
