Activist Subculture
The development of an activist "subculture" was instrumental in developing a public sphere among activists prior to the Sunflower Movement

This was what led to a public sphere forming among youth activists and also what established a social consensus among activists, politically, as well as developing the trust networks among Taiwanese youth activists which led to the the development of Taiwanese youth activism. We might take a look at some of the features of this “subculture.”
