i already addressed that point in my initial post

you can say this isn't antisocial because alternative trends develop their own community of adherents and so they're actually pro-social trends for the people that adopt them. but since they challenge mainstream values they seem inherently bound to alienate the vast majority of the population, which is why i think they are antisocial.
the pro-social aspect of it only applies within that subgroup, but in general the subgroup exists as an antisocial response to the current mainstream
