Nick Nicholas' lujvo list has {mitpavycinglepre} and
{mitpavycinpampre}.  A bit of a mouthful, if you'll forgive the pun!
{pe'i} a shorter, if less precise, lujvo is needed here.  "Gay" is of course

used as a gloss for {gleki} but it would definitely be unacceptable
culture-specific metaphor to use {gleki} in lujvo-making here.

Again from the lujvo list, {datpavycinglepre} and {datpavypampre}.

similarly, {relcinglepre}, {relcinpampre}

You'd need to be more specific - is the colloquial "teenage angst"
phenomenon, or "angst" as used by Keirkegaard, or Sartre or who?

I quite like {selcu'aklu}  - "chosen culture" - since I think this is the
essence of the incredibly vague idea of "alternative culture".

We had some discussion of "teenage" some time back.  The problem is that the
idea of "teenager" is so culture-specific.
