There were several things my research into subcultures revealed to me. One was how much cafes reoccurred, especially at the beginning. I also noticed that most youth culture rooted in the middle class tried to reject perceived notions of the middle class, Beats, Hippies, Punks, Hipsters etc, and tried to emulate a more working class or bohemian lifestyle instead. Working class cultures however tended to still be very working class, Rocker, Skinhead, Punk etc. The only real exception to this is mods who aimed for middle class sophistication.
Most of the subcultures, especially the middle class routed ones, seem to have some element of taking down gender divisions, getting more androgynous.
I have more to say on this but I've left my notes at home.
