The Subculture of iMac Users
The iMac subculture can be defined simply by the computer that one prefers; in this case: and iMac or Macintosh. The main reason for the existence of this subculture is that there are more than one type of computer out there for people to use. Since the creation of Macintosh in the early 1980's, the iMac user has been viewed as somewhat of a rebel. The primary type of computer for the longest time was the Windows operating system. If a family had a home computer, chances are it was a Windows machine. The iMac was introduced, and all the sudden people had a choice of which kind of computer they wanted to have. There are also key differences between the two operating systems that may cause one personality type to be attracted to one or the other. The Windows operating system was a very straight-forward system. All the boxes were very square, the icons very plain, and every process was approached in the most mathmatical way. When iMacs began to become popular, they introduced a new, almost artsy way of using a computer. The program windows took on a somewhat rounded shape, the menu bars and icons were colorful and aesthetically pleasing. And, because Macintosh became a leader in music and art, it attracted many artists and musicians.
