Careful inspection of spatially represented urban subculture shows trends, participants, cities in transformation and the evolution of subculture itself. Cultural appropriation and assimilation, regularly associated with development of subculture towards mainstream (commerciality, exploiting), or radical resistance (violent behavior, squatting), have recently been supplemented by a vision which sees nomadic nature of subculture as a source of innovation.  

Informal creativity generated by contrasting conventional societal forms is seen as being beneficial, unlike standard educational models.
