Freak tattoo subculture reminded me of Adorno & Horkheimer’s concern with the subcultures of society. The quote, “Culture today is infecting everything with sameness” (41) brought me to this link of the top 10 freaky tattoos.

Many of these tattoo “freaks” have tried to become animals. The fact that there is a list with the top ten freaks gave me the instant impression on a subculture. And these people are all trying to tattoo their whole body, sharing the same concept in mind is what creates the subculture.
Another example I saw was in the movie Mrs. Doubtfire, there was a bisexual reference, and Robin Williams comments with “well it’s the 90s isn’t it?” And that quote alone from the famous actor-comedian, while he’s while women’s perfume and lipstick, instantly reference a bisexual subculture.
