I would consider myself fortunate to have friends in many different subcultures, some of good intentions and some of not-so-good intentions. I guess the subcultures that intrigue me the most are the 'twenty-something smokers', the 'three nights a week I party', and the 'get high and wasted' subculture. All three of these subcultures I could infiltrate.
Heck, if I wanted to smoke, I could just go get a cigarrette and smoke -- voila! I'm in a subculture. Unfortunately for all of my friends, I won't be a twenty-something smoker because I paid attention in health class and found out that inhaling poisonous toxins is going to knock some serious time off your life. Oh well, next subculture.
The 'three nights a week I party' subculture is one that is also easily infiltrated. Once more, unfortunate for my 'party hard' friends I've decided that I'm more into getting at least six hours of sleep and not waking up next to someone I met at one in the morning. Obviously I'm exaggerating but you get my point.
The 'get high and wasted' subculture is not one that I'm extremely familiar with but I've know people in this subculture. After watching a kid walk around naked in the courtyard of our dorm over the weekend because he was high on acid I decided that this may not be the best fit.

Evan,
For the interview paper, you'll need to seek someone out who is not a friend, but you have some tarting ideas. I wouldn't consider cigarette smokers to really be a subculture... review what it takes to be considered a subculture before you choose an interviewee.
