New York City club personalities mostly led by Michael Alig and James St. James in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
This group was notable for their outrageous costumes and extensive drug use—in particular, ecstasy, ketamine, cocaine and heroin, although preferences ranged. Some were even assigned names and personas by Alig himself.
All these sub cultures seem to have the same sort of issues with trying to stand out/ be different/ drugs etc!

No Wave
It tried to clarify the differences between the various categories of music too often confused or wrongly treated.
A key contribution is given precisely by the Arts, starting by comics, which in their designs and in the plot of theirs stories, try to give an image and translate on paper the ideology and aesthetic of this musical and cultural movement at the same time.
True manifesto of the New Wave can be considered the work of James O'Barr, The Crow, in which the author, fascinated by the richness and lyrism of the work by groups like The Cure and Joy Division, creates a deep and complex character, a romantic and gothic story at the same time, a melancholic atmosphere in which love is so strong that it can win even death. All this is made not only through the development of story, but from sketching design, the use of color (white and black), which can to project magically in a dream and spectral atmosphere.

Hippy
Still popular today. We all know hippy style.
Hippies today are more like Joss Stone, with the style rather than all about peace on earth dude!
It has turned into more of a fashion statement than a whole culture.
Hippies today are GREEN!
They volunteer, wear natural clothes etc. Save the o zone layer.
Different types of hippy around today

Folk
Well the folk style is definitely still around today.
People still go to folk dances etc (admittedly its the older generation) but its still here.

There is even a website called 'folk' selling folk clothes!
Also i think there is more religion behind this culture.

Americana
Americana is an amalgam of roots musics formed by the confluence of the shared and varied traditions that make up the American musical ethos; specifically those sounds that are merged from folk, country, rhythm and blues, rock and roll and other external influential styles.[1] Americana is popularly referred to, especially in print, as alternative country.
I found this information about Americana music but cannot find anything on the sub culture. I am guessing that it is a country sort of girl style. Thinking Jessica Simpson old style or Taylor Swift.

Metal Head
With the rise of heavy metal in the 70s came a subculture of fans referred to as metalheads. As heavy metal evolved and diversified, so did its fan base. There are now metalheads all over the world, and they're not all stereotypically male, heavyset, and long-haired. As with any subculture, however, there are always poseurs--people who take on the superficial characteristics of the group without adopting what ties them all together.[1] This article will help you avoid such a fate.
-These particular types of sub culture do not interest me in the slightest. I found them a bit vulgar and don't believe they are using style to portray themselves.
