but also - you do realize the point of counterculture is that it's often like, the opposite of the current cultural direction, right? maybe it doesn't look so good when the current cultural direction is the one you're subscribed to

Counter culture movements usually look at the current culture and see people being exploited that other generations just accepted as how it was. They dont normally seek to undo freedoms granted during previous generations struggle. Gen x did not side with segregationists to undo civil rights for example.

I do think that under normal circumstances, the wealth gap and anti-billionares was shaping up to be gen zs counter culture movement considering how many gen zers are getting screwed by that system. However, their counter culture movement got hijacked by those billionares to work for them instead.
