Or maybe even better than atmosphere, 'aura'. To quote from a dictionaryI think in certain ways the term 'atmosphere" may apply instead, if we're talking about cultural/subcultural milieus and the aggregate impressions made by their aesthetics/values/tastes.
"the distinctive atmosphere or quality that seems to surround and be generated by a person, thing, or place. "The ceremony retains an aura of mystery."
