Status
Free-radicalism is somewhat controversial as a "sub-culture", because it diverges from the traditional model. Other popular cultures such as the “Emo” subculture require a certain amount of uniformity, which may include hair style, clothing, music, or even sexual orientation. The key difference in the Free-radical movement is a complete lack of requirements, members of the group identify with each other because of their lack of desire to belong to any other popular culture group. To overcome this, Free-radical’s use various ways to show their allegiance as a Free-radical. This commonly involves subtle things such as displaying a badge in their online screen names. A common badge to show is “\\ ɟr \\” at the beginning the online screen name.

“As a work of art it has the same status as a long conversation between two not very bright drunks.”
—Clive James (b. 1939)
“[In early adolescence] she becomes acutely aware of herself as a being perceived by others, judged by others, though she herself is the harshest judge, quick to list her physical flaws, quick to undervalue and under-rate herself not only in terms of physical appearance but across a wide range of talents, capacities and even social status, whereas boys of the same age will cite their abilities, their talents and their social status pretty accurately.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
