One of My Many Weird Hobbies

I have been waiting all day to write this.

I would like to tell you about a hobby that I have had since I was very little:

Discovering Subcultures.

What is a subculture you might ask? No, it is not some colony of underwater bacteria. No, it is not the culture of people who live in submarines, particularly the yellow kind. No, it is not a combination of the two (that would be strange). It is none of the above.

Subcultures are the small, yet significant groups of people who share unique or special interests. Bloggers are a subculture. They are also subsubcultures within the blogger subculture, such as photography bloggers, family bloggers, cannot write for beans bloggers, my life is terrible so I am going to tell the world about it bloggers, etc.

Here are some subcultures that I have discovered for myself:
1. Sparklers.
Sparklers are the rare group (I believe there are only a couple thousand in the world) of people who use sparknotes.com for recreation rather than for valuable book information. This group of people often post stories and "how-to"s that are later published for everyone to see. Some of this literature is fun to read, some of it is bizarre, and not necessarily in a good way.
2. Fan-Fic Writers.
(This group, along with bloggers, and some sparklers fall under the writing subcultures) If you have not ever read fan-fiction, I would highly recommend it. They refer to themselves as the Fan-Fic writers. I do not have very much experience with this group, so they may have other nicknames for each other, perhaps "Finnies" or "Fannies" or "Fickles" I am not quite sure.
3. People who read anime (manga) in the book store.
There is a huge group of people who read anime or manga, so therefore they so not count as a subculture, but there is a small portion of them who decide that actually buying the books is either too expensive or too tedious for their important lives, and thusly read them in the different rows of Japanese Comic Books in the actual book store. Some find a fiendish kind of pleasure from breaking the binding and folding the pages without even a thought of the next person who might want to buy that particular graphic novel. Printed anime is properly called "manga". I am proud to be a rehabilitated reader of such literature, and am now leading a normal life.
4. Death Hags.
Normally I wouldn't count this as a subculture that I discovered, I found it on L.A. Ink, but I consider people who watch TLC instead of normal television a subculture. I discovered a subculture while participating in a subculture so it counts. Death Hags are a very small (but growing) group of people who wander around cemeteries and look for the graves of famous people. I do not think I could be a part of that subculture. Cemeteries make me a combination of frightened and sad, not to mention cemeteries with famous people in them.
5. Youtubers.
I am not simply talking about people who go on youtube and look up videos, that's basically the whole planet. The rather large subculture I am speaking of is made up of the people who actually post videos on youtube. A subsubculture within this group is the video blogging group. I do not consider it part of the print blogging group, because the two use very different sites and technology for their medium. (Alright, so I didn't discover them, but considering I am a part of them, now, I know what they go through on a daily basis searching hungrily for positive comments and potential subscribers)

I shall tell you about more as I discover them. Here are some more subcultures not really worth explaining:
-"how-to" youtubers (subsub)
-tattoo junkies
-white people who think they're asian
-white people who think they're black
-band kids (subsub: band couples)
-orch dorks (subsub: Orchestra Teacher's Assistants)
-theater junkies (subsub: theater junkies who lost their virginity in the theater room)
-crew people (subsub: bus makeout couples)
-badminton junkies
-robotics club members (subsub: robotics geniuses)
