>look at how music subcultures have incredibly varied ways of expression through clothing - metalheads, hiphopheads, punks etc.

Metalheads? Huh? I like metal, but metal fans are some of the most boring dressers I've ever seen. Go to any metal show and you'll just see a bunch of guys wearing jeans and black T-shirts from their favorite bands' prior concert tours. Some of the musicians used to dress pretty flamboyantly back in the hair-metal days of the 1980s, but those days are long past; the musicians these days are in their 60s and dress rather casually and plainly.

Sure, but if you put a metal fan alongside a punk and a hip hop fan you’d be able to tell the difference, right?
