However, in most cases when we think of subculture we connect it with social pathology, levering standards. Even the etymology of the word 'subculture' tends to comprise something which is lower, worse. Moreover, many events suit this definition of the word subculture.

We can also come across such terms as alcoholic subcultures, delinquency subcultures, etc.
