I don't really understand what you are trying to say here and the relation to the post you responded.
>Fast forward years later and I get my coffee beans from a startup local roaster who hosts an Elvis impersonator, for the motorcycle meetup, I learned where the tats get done, I support a local microbrewery, there is a cafe where I get lunch, I got my black t shirts from a designer…every single business owner I just mentioned goes to the same gym.
So you consume/buy products that are most likely pricier, but sell you the idea of being 'more valueable' because they are organic, local this, that. And this is your idea of counter-culture and non-participation?
You buy things and consume products that Walmart doesn't sell? This seems like a pretty generic, consumerist way to to distinguish yourself from the rabbles and appears to me like a typical 2010s hipster lifestyle you are portaying. But the so-called counter-culture crowd you found doesn't pull out their smartphones when being around others, therefore they renounce the modern tech world?
I really can't say if your post was meant to be sarcastic or if I am just not getting the joke or you are being serious.
