the term parallel culture refers to a situation where everyone is forced to obey the imposed standard culture when out in public, but they develop their own parallel world in private. It's usually been applied in situations like life under communism; sort of a conform-or-die mentality (from the official point of view). Act out of line and you'll be punished. Go home, lock the door, and be who you want.
