A subculture is generally hidden from the mainstream culture. Few are those who display their BDSM subculture in obvious public fashion.
A counterculture is in the face of the mainstream culture, trying to change the cult. It is countering the mainstream. It is activist or, at the least, unabashed with the intention of normalization.
