How to explain the alternative?

The word "alternative" is new. In the impression of most people, being different is a young person's business, that is, being straightforward, wearing whatever you want, saying whatever you want and doing whatever you want. It is cool, handsome, beautiful, cool, strange, bold, modern trendy and absurd, and traditional negation and betrayal. It is the complete liberation of human nature to regard it as the companion of the times; It is indulgence and heresy to regard it as the edge of mainstream life.

An irresistible choice. Alternative life is full of freedom and temptation. Sometimes it feels different, which is a cry for freedom of life; Sometimes I feel different, which is a kind of destruction and trampling on the life prospect and order. But no matter how contradictory, its temptation is everywhere, like a peach blossom fairyland at the bottom of the abyss, like a vast mysterious palace in the vast sea, which makes people fascinated, stop and expect. Just like the city has been oppressed for a long time, it goes to the top of the mountain to shout and spit out the filth and pride in its chest. Ow ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ow ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ow ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~！ Fuck you and me, I want to spread myself freely, myself! My own life, my own life! !

Cannot join the alternative. Alternative, need environment, need money, need dignity and reputation are inviolable, need unrestrained and sexual desire. Alternative, need a complete change of concept, need to ignore the cost of youth and bleak future, or on the contrary, need youth without regret, need me to live, I am happy, my ultimate is my future! Alternative, how far away from us! The other is on our edge, among us. This is a beautiful scenery, and it is an increasingly colorful embellishment of society and life. However, I can't devote myself to substitution, I can't. The otherness of China people is a kind of out-of-control and open privacy outside the system, and it is the freedom and charm that gossip and deep-rooted traditional forces cannot shake. Alternative, I can't shine with you within the system! ! Afraid of all zirconium, constraints and slander! !

Can't agree with shallowness. Different, different levels. Shake your head and call it something else? Casual tryst sex is called alternative? Dare to say what others dare not say, dare to do what others dare not do, called alternative? Yes, it should be an alternative form of composition. However, the low-level cultural otherness is only the grassroots part of the alternative class. Under the national conditions, articles such as Shanghai Baby and Sugar and their authors are of high standard. The upper class lacks profound cultural accumulation, political concern and anxiety, and the generalization, guidance and stimulation of national characteristics. Alternative, just like a beautiful woman, not just a small jasper, but a noble family, elegant and generous. Alternative, don't read books, don't read newspapers, don't pay attention to the deep thinking of deep feelings of human nature, only care about the sense of form and the agility of senses, care about the scenery on the mouth, care about the wind and fire. This is a superficial choice.

I can't deny my uniqueness. Alternative, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, has a long history, different interpretations, different degrees, different performances, and the content is similar. Everyone has a different side, and they all have different impulses and desires. Some people come out of generate because of the environment and the right attitude, and some people are worried about education and education, so it is difficult to leak the package. Alternative, semi-alternative, occasional, non-alternative and unique, but can not break through the shackles of self-psychology and surrounding conservatism. If it is large and wide, it should be said: under the ideal sky-free to call others, free to call others; In the cultural atmosphere-the action after thinking is called the other, and the action to break through the stubborn forces is called the other; You, me, him-our environment can't be different, but if we think differently, it will be different! !

A chapter in paul fussell's style:

Article 9 An unconventional person.

What about us? What class do we belong to, and what do we think of the bondage brought by social class?

Following Aymis's poems may help us find the answer: What class does the narrator come from?

First of all, we can be sure that he is not poor, because the poor man's language must be featureless. He's not middle class either.

Class, because we can find that there are serious problems in public building facilities in aberdare and blame them, and we are not afraid to cause these problems.

The controversial people can't come from the middle class. He can't be an elite, because his language is poetry. poetic sentiment

Creation needs talent. Knowledge and unremitting efforts, these are not available in the upper class. His sharp eyes. laugh

Sarcasm and humor. Complex and funny sympathy for poor middle-class figures Evans and Mrs. Reese

Heart, coupled with his sensitivity to art, all this shows that he has a special identity.

We might as well assume that the narrator does not belong to any class at all. He comes from an unknown group. I weigh myself.

It is an alternative (type X) family. The reason why you classify others as a "class" rather than a class is because you can't

Birth is an exception. Your birth and growth are bound to be branded as poor or middle class. You can only turn around.

To be an alternative, or to be more clear, only when you find yourself trying to have some characteristics of an alternative.

Quality, especially curiosity and originality, makes you qualified to be a substitute.

Such a discovery is the only way to free you from the bondage of class. Joining the alternative often requires you to stay away from your parents.

Give up patience and restraint. Young people gathered in this city from all directions devoted themselves to "art"

Art ","writing. " Creative work "-any job that can really keep them away from their boss. Liberate under the supervision of a supervisor.

For things-this is the pursuit of the alternative. If they can successfully use their talents, these young people will succeed in the end.

Mature substitute.

What kind of person is the alternative?

"Bohemians?" Used to be another name for bohemian artists. This cliche may make

We have some concepts about the other in our minds, and the name "talent" also helps us to understand.

Some of them are intellectuals, but most of them are not: among them are actors, musicians, artists and athletes.

Stars, "celebrities". Rich hippies. Determined foreign settlers and more talented journalists. Like this.

Smart readers of some people's articles can't wait to read on as soon as they find their own names in the author's column.

One alternative is a "cultured" person (to borrow Whitemill's words here). They are freelancers, engaged in

He is engaged in what sociologists call "autonomous work". As Mill said, if the middle class "belongs to others forever",

Then the other does not belong to anyone at all.

Being free from people's jurisdiction is a remarkable feature of the other. They are independent of social customs, manners and behaviors.

Because everyone is free. They love their work, have professionalism, and will never let go until they finish their work. In their view

There is no such thing as "retirement". This concept is only for working people. People who are tired of earning wages are interested.

Righteousness, and those people usually despise their work.

Being an alternative is like having most of the freedom and power of the upper class, but it is not theirs.

How much is it? An alternative person can be regarded as a "noble without money"

As long as you are familiar with some characteristics of substitutes, it is not difficult to identify them. Look at their clothes and expressions first. in addition

People dress up in the way they like. They never dress up to please others, because they think no one is worth it.

They must work hard. So they dress comfortably and casually, and they are also a bit "unruly" at ordinary times. In fact, as long as forever

Dressing according to the principle of not being as good as others can achieve this effect.

If you are required to wear a formal suit with a black bow tie, you can choose to wear a dark suit (old-fashioned tailoring and country style)

Gas), but it is eye-catching color bow tie. If he needs to wear a suit, he doesn't wear a tie at all. if necessary

Dress up as "casual", so wear a rag if you are different. Patched jeans, or corduroy pants,

These corduroy pants are either dirty. Otherwise it will fade. If others are wearing swimsuits, then another option is possible.

I came here naked. Alternative is comfortable when choosing clothes on your feet, and never cares whether its style is popular or not. Therefore,

Their shoes (such as sandals and "moccasins"-heel-less soft shoes usually made of deerskin worn by North American Indians) are always

It gives people a feeling that it is very suitable for walking on soft pine needles.

Alternative buys a large number of casual vests, flannel shirts and hiking boots in this country every year, most of which.

All the points are bought from L.L.Bean and Tianya. Others like to wear suits and casual clothes when most people wear them.

Or beautiful clothes. Others rarely wear brand-name clothes that can be recognized at a glance, and even wearing them is a choice.

The brand chosen is also very novel and unique-it is not the brand of Budweiser and American Drinking Team.

However, they don't want people to make any comments on it. Obviously, they even pay a little attention to their brand.

Will be regarded as impolite behavior. Be an alternative, regardless of gender, you can see at a glance which class people are.

When people stay together, no matter how he or she dresses, the message of that dress is: "I am freer than you.

More calm and carefree. "Or-in some extreme cases-"I'm smarter and more interesting than you: please don't make me feel.

To boredom. "

Some people will never worry about choosing a black raincoat or a beige raincoat, because they don't wear raincoats at all: they want to wear them.

Let it rain, or find a place to shelter from the rain until it stops: they are not slaves of time.

On the other hand, there are few fat people because they do a lot of physical exercise. On the one hand, in our nature, on the other hand.

Face, in their eyes, sports are really full of fun. As early as thirty years ago, I was guided by the popular newspapers of the upper and middle classes.

Before jogging, the substitute was already exercising. The most popular sports are: touching on a whim.

Football is the best game when the wine is weak.

Others avoid several common pets. On the contrary, they prefer to feed domestic coyotes, skunks, peacocks and ants.

Animals like beasts. Alternative people are likely to bring their sexual partners to social occasions, but they will not introduce them. But as we all know, he

Several of our sexual partners got pregnant when social activities were extremely inappropriate. Another way to treat baby feces is

If you don't make the middle class stunned, you can also let them open their eyes, such as using a net bag or a backpack baby bag.

There is usually a distinctive food store and a good grape hotel near the alternative residence. in addition

There may be an army and navy clothing store, or a hiking shop where you can buy casual clothes. To avoid not having

Chatting, they often go to public or university libraries with good conditions nearby to study. Well-chosen newsstands are also attractive.

Force, because. These people will also read periodicals from Britain, France, Germany, Italy and other countries.

Others think it's time to move, so they move out and make their own decisions, unlike employees who are always led by the boss.

Others like their home, but one day they find that they don't like this place anymore-for example, this place is rapidly moving towards China.

The bourgeoisie or the poor are getting closer and closer, and they move away at once. Their houses are not in the "development zone", on the contrary, they are all located in.

Something weird-for example, on a hillside, or firmly rooted between two skyscrapers. Their house (of course,

For these people, it will never be "home". It is often old, not new. On the one hand, old houses are cheaper;

Secondly, bragging about an old house to others is tantamount to declaring that you are not with young people who are obsessed with "new trends"

Young Americans.

Others despise public practices aimed at showing off their identity, so there is generally no driveway in front of their house. their

The car is parked in the street, the style is out of date, and it has hardly been scrubbed. The other is about the type and condition of the car.

The written rule is that no matter what kind of stickers-universities or other things-will appear on the rear window. Except maybe.

Black and white. As an ancient worship, the "A" sticker marked with the minimum gasoline quota during World War II can be allowed.

Its existence. There is no doubt that another option will avoid boring and unremarkable roads and highways specially prepared for the middle class.

They prefer to drive slowly on "charming" country roads.

Others like to mock by imitation, and the grass and courtyard in front of their house will never leave a good impression.

In my impression, there is often a strong irony: there is no lawn in their front yard, and the ground may be covered with gravel and water.

Green or cement (sometimes bright green on the cement topcoat), or weeds. Gravel scattered, even attractive.

Pay great attention to growing marijuana.

In addition to deliberately creating the effect of the middle class, the alternative may also imitate some practices of the poor, for example, putting a few ugly things.

Ridiculous and ugly lawn equipment or interesting flower walls. But no matter how decorated, their front yard will always be given.

People feel lifeless, because for the alternative, the street side of the house is irrelevant, and the claustrophobic backyard is the real thing.

Where to go. There, you can avoid other people's eyes and ears and have fun. Alternative welcomes guests to spend the night in their own homes, but they

Never specify which guests can "stay" like the upper-middle class. Instead of staying in the guest room, the guests sleep on the spare sofa.

In bed or sleeping bag, people may keep coming in and out at night, not to mention the hectic scene in the early morning.

To describe an unusual living room in the simplest way, you can say: it is recommended by all exquisite interior decoration magazines.

There is nothing here. Their guiding principle is not to give the impression of deliberate imitation: there may be one in the room.

Only elephant soles used for umbrella stands may contain some specimens of cats, dogs, penguins and lizards-they may not do this.

I want to show the art of animal specimens. The room is full of girlish fabrics and fabrics-strange curtains hanging down.

A shawl with tassels hanging down, wall covering in museum style. The picture hanging on the wall strongly reflects that the host does not go with the flow.

Quality: bold nude paintings (people of all ages and sexes) and bikini atoll or Guadalcanal.

Figure. They never hang maps of Nantucket and Catalonia, which are popular among the middle class. On the coffee table

These magazines are Aunt Jones and Journal of Atomic Scientists.

When you find yourself sitting closer and closer to the floor, you will soon become a pure alternative. Complete meaning

In a sense, the legs of furniture will not appear in the alternative living room at all, and any face in the room is used for sitting. In order to eat

Yes Reclining-the height from the ground shall not exceed 12 inch. The floor is either bare or sparse.

Covered with carpets. Carpets are also produced in unusual places such as Nepal and Honduras. Rooms are usually the same

There is a burning fireplace, which is not very clean. The reason why they installed the fireplace is not so much to beautify the room as to.

Enjoy making love on the carpet in front of the fireplace. There are also a lot of bookshelves in the room, filled with rows of hard skins.

Most of the books were published before the fifties.

Other people often watch TV, but never watch any instructive programs. They regard the National Education Station as a dialogue.

A threat. Alternative TV sets usually have a convex eye that is common in the market. They like to watch old classic movies.

Movies, such as I Love Lucy and Honeymoon. They like to experience watching the crazy "Brother Jack" for the fiftieth time.

The ecstasy of Allison's Future Chef Cup and Lucy Cup golf tournament. Through these hobbies, on behalf of

Reached his respect for the great and lofty classicism. They often watch live programs. Just to have a look.

A joke caused by external mistakes-the football match was screwed up and the draft of public speech was thrown away. The wind blew away, the president and the state

The gaffes of ministers, parliamentarians, mayors and senior clergy during impromptu speeches, and so on. Others, so far,

I still remember the scene when Cardinal Richard Cushing was praying at the inauguration ceremony of President John F. Kennedy and the podium caught fire.

For an instant, the great man standing on the stage didn't notice the ominous plumes of black smoke.

Drinking: alternative drinking is not to show off status or alcohol consumption, but to have a sense of calm when drunk. they

It is found that drinking vodka and gin is the best way to achieve this goal. Of course, some substitutes also drink white without restraint.

Wine. Although there are not many alternative drinks, they still like to buy cheap wine in large quantities and buy it specially. Unsigned

High quality spirits, such as gin and scotch. Of course they know.

Betrayed the deceived in the advertisement, that is, the middle class. In alternative dwellings, a gallon of wine bottles can be seen everywhere.

Others seldom eat at a fixed time, and only when they are hungry can they have a desire to eat. Shang He

Like others, the time for meal replacement is late, not early; But also because someone tells jokes or arranges some during dinner.

Scandals slander others, so a meal may take a long time. Alternative dishes are rarely similar to those often eaten by upper-middle class people.

"French food" or "British food": Their food is more inclined to North American flavor. Turkish flavor. Or Indian zhina flavor and

Vegetarian dishes. "Organic meals" and "nutritious meals".

Alternative people usually don't want to eat in restaurants; Because they don't panic like some people, they must be in front of people with lower status.

Hold your head high and give orders to satisfy your whimsy, so as to get a kind of identity protection. Like this.

People with quick thinking and insight have long understood that if you are smart enough, you will eat much more at home than outside.

All right. You may not know what many other favorite foods are, such as herbal tea. Lemon volt

In addition Food baked with stone flour, and so on. Occasionally, substitutes will suddenly stop eating things that have not been notified in advance.

Exotic food has become a craze for authentic American food, except apple pie, ham, hot dogs and hamburgers.

Eat nothing but buns, peppers and turkey. However, no matter how changeable the style of alternative dishes is, they will not leave Israel.

The following two characteristics: (1) delicious; (2) no need for praise. Because delicious food is a matter of course. Except for the occasional Sutton.

White wine (Sauté me: a famous French white wine producing area. Or a bowl of wine after a meal, and another kind of wine is usually

It's dry, but it's delicious and the quality doesn't need to be discussed.

If you want to identify whether a banquet is a banquet between different kinds, you can do it if it is difficult to distinguish it in other aspects.

The law can make you a shoo-in, that is, no matter how much wine the host prepares, the guests will drink it all and never leave it.

Yu. Moreover, in the end, even the host will plot against him: there is not much wine left at home.

Alternative nature is well-informed, so they are unconsciously familiar with the street layout and road signs of many cities, such as Lun.

Paris and Rome, and sometimes even Istanbul and Karachi. On the one hand, it's fun to be with them.

The habit of learning more about new things is inseparable; On the other hand, they have a strong ability to recognize people whenever and wherever they are.

Desire and curiosity. So other interests focus on history, literature, architecture and aesthetics. (criticizing Alberta.

The people in the central square are at the center of tradition. )

No matter what job outsiders do, they will read a lot. They regard reading as their nature in their life experience.

However, some parts are as important as "experience" and more interesting than experience. Alternative never participates in any reading.

Book club. Because they choose books according to their own preferences, people often hear them complain about local bookstores.

The eyes of the campers are so kitsch and hopeless. Alternative reading interests are extremely extensive. He reads all kinds of books, including

Sometimes they even read bestsellers, but the main purpose is to see if they are as full as before.

Use cliches. Generally speaking, everyone else "went to college", but if someone sends him an alumni publication, he usually will.

If you don't read it, throw it away with other junk mail.

Because the alternatives are completely independent, they often explore some unusual frontier disciplines, for example, they can

You can study Serbian-Croatian poetics enthusiastically. 1 1 Crystal caves and vestments of churches in northern France in the century.

The problem is that if the other person is in a good mood for a while and suddenly sings, their expressions are likely to come from baroque opera.

Or from the Tang sulfide (Mozart's famous opera. Or Messiah (Handel's famous oratorio)

Drama. Translator's note). Even the whistles and tunes they usually blow come from classic tracks. A very good one.

On the other hand, one note can blow down Beethoven's quarterback. Others are good at playing musical instruments, but almost all of them are human.

Unexpected musical instruments: they can't play the violin or the clarinet. They play the organ. Automatic harp or blowing through nostrils

Snuff the nose.

Although others hate the word "creativity", they think it means pursuing time in everyday speech.

Shang, easy to be sad, mentally immature, which is completely the embodiment of the middle class character. But they still use a kind of creation.

The attitude of the creator towards things is of course the attitude of the critic. A substitute can imagine himself without difficulty.

He is creating a modern art, a play or an architectural work. So as far as movies are concerned, the alternative is very popular with directors.

Ge's interest is no less than their interest in performance style.

Although an alternative may be deeply rooted in European church architecture, it even includes some elegant and elegant worship ceremonies in the fifteenth century.

Custom, but he never goes to church except for individual weddings and funerals. Not only that, he doesn't know anyone.

Yes In their view, I don't know who came up with the absurd idea of going to church, which is simply embarrassing. such as

If you are forced to bow your head and pray in public, then the other kind of people will raise their eyes to look at the watches of the more obedient people around you.

Love, observing people's posture and clothes.

Different people usually make their own rules and regulations, so they get rid of the shackles of social customs, which means they should

Many people are writers, as Diana Trilling said, "If everyone wants to be a writer, it's not just.

Because being a writer can make people famous and because artists live a free life, you can make your own rules. "

Alternative is talkative. They learn languages very well, so they take it for granted that if you are just beautiful.

China people are willing to speak only one language all their lives because of their narrow vision, which is really shameful. Alternative is not like the middle class

Like the upper and middle classes, they can only speak one or two foreign words used to decorate the facade, such as guurmet (French, flavor food);

Arrivderci (Italian, goodbye); Karp (German, completed). They can put France, Italy, Germany or

Translate Spanish paragraph by paragraph, sometimes even Russian and Chinese. Another kind of unscrupulous foul language.

Language, because they don't care whether they win the respect of others, but they always have strong cultivation when they swear.

The impact of resignation. And unlike the poor who always say "focus", they only occasionally use "focus" as a modifier.

Never omit the sound of "G".

Compared with most people, they may prefer to treat some people-usually those "public servants" or the middle class.

The idol-called "idiot". This shows that under normal circumstances, the alternative will not say what it has in a euphemistic way.

For example, they insist that their children use scientific words such as "penis" and "vagina".

But they are not always outspoken and sometimes use euphemisms, but their purpose is different from that of polite people. he

Children like to use euphemisms or mock others by imitation. What they like most is the ability to publish in some vulgar tabloids.

Let the reader understand its irony tacitly. You can also avoid being said to be a euphemism for slander. So when a person

An unusual eyebrow raised slightly and called someone a "determined bachelor". We can infer that he meant "filling".

Passionate homosexuality. "Similarly, as Neil McWood said, Little Star is a satire on prostitutes.

Statement: correspondingly, "constant partner" refers to "lover"; "Fatigue" (or "excessive fatigue") means "indulging in"

Playing in public means promiscuity. To say that a young woman is "slim" means that she is really slim. Will soon die of

Anorexia ",if a substitute adds enough sarcastic hints in his tone when using euphemism, then he is using this committee.

The function of euphemism in expressing satire. So, when it comes to the theft of a poor guy, it sounds like this sentence.

Doubtful quotation marks were maliciously added before and after.

A century ago, matthew arnold determined the division of social classes after carefully examining the social classes in Britain.

The standard dichotomy, and then expounds that some people in each class feel that they do not belong to this order.

Layer, want to come out from the inside. He defined these people as "aliens". To a large extent, it is made up of American counterparts.

Another choice for this community. Some of them come from the upper class, such as Al Gore. Vidal (a famous contemporary American writer, good at

Long nonfiction writing. Translator's note). Some people, such as james jones, are poor, even called poor.

To the poorest farmers. A substitute can be someone with little education, just like Jones; It may also be complete.

Education, like those who graduated from those demanding universities, has cultivated both intellectual and aesthetic self-confidence in school.

A talented young man.

In short, the other constitutes the "classless" class, and they occupy a place in American society. over there

The outlook on life of "transaction" in the past can no longer be run amok. The insolent attitude peculiar to others. Smart head

Their brains, sarcastic way of speaking and high morale made them escape from the class cage that bound others.

Those who worry that alternative personality traits may be "un-Americanized" should realize that, on the contrary, these people

Real Americans are bleeding. Mark. Twain realized this a long time ago, and he created a typical choice when he

When introducing this man to readers for the first time, he said, "Huckleberry Finn has come and gone because of his free will."

Pool. "Although their status can't be inherited, although they don't pay attention to etiquette, the spirit of freedom makes them become one.

A special kind of aristocrat. In some ways, they are similar to E·M· Forster's "sensitive, decent and bold aristocrats"

Class ",the members of this class" keenly feel self-enlightenment and the inner world of others, ... meticulous, decent and not in a hurry.

Chaos. "and" they have a good sense of humor. "They are on their way again," said Foster, who saw it himself.

Excited by the scene, "an indomitable army, but not an army that can win forever":

Seeing their value, the authorities tried their best to trap them and make use of them. The authorities borrowed many tricks:

Egyptian priests, Christian churches, administrative departments in China and many other unique skills worth a try. But they've been going from

Slipped out of the net and ran away ...

If people with poor imagination and limited understanding try their best to enter the upper-middle class, then talented people are extraordinary.

The elites with brains and insight are trying to get rid of the shackles and prepare to enter the ranks of the alternative. Only beyond class chaos.

Americans who really enjoy the freedom promised on coins lead to depression and anxiety. Just in the choice.

Only in the new world can Americans escape the ambition and jealousy that have corrupted countless people. As early as 1845, Tocqueville

Foresee the consequences of the American government's rejection of the aristocratic code of conduct. "Desire is still in a state of extreme inflation," he wrote.

Tao. "And the means to satisfy these desires are getting less and less every day." So, "these are all burning inside. topping

Look at that. The frustrated desire began to swell secretly. Bite the soul for nothing, and the pain and suffering of the soul can be seen everywhere. "

At present, the camp of the other group is not strong enough. However, it will get bigger because many people haven't realized that they have.

When invited, they will eventually join the ranks of substitutes.
