If the furry fandom is a sub culture, then by equivalency, the pony fandom is then.

Well, the difference is that one is a fandom centered around a show. Is it still possible to make that into a subculture.
Carl Sagan, astrophysicist and atheist wrote:"Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality.
When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages,
when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling,
that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual...
The notion that science and spirituality are somehow mutually exclusive does a disservice to both."

The Furry Fandom was originally based on a Comic Strip, you realize? Albedo Anthropomorphics was what really did get discussion and spark the furry fandom.

However age difference do separate the two.

My Russian is pretty rusty. It's been in the recesses of my brain for a good 2 months, and it's a bit rotten. I plan on polishing it soon.

However I still stand my point. Da nyet, naverno.

I have no animosity for perhaps a distant cousin or relative to my fandom, but they are mutually exclusive. *Nods*

I do my own thing, listen to some obscure ass music, dress my own way, etc...

Yeah I get called a hipster by 99% of people but it's a ridiculous title I give no thought to/ care for. I consider myself an individualist; ignoring gender roles and societal norms. I am artsy, having an unhealthy love for architecture.

I am just myself.

Atheism and procrastination definitely aren't subcultures at all.
Fandoms are only arguably subcultures.
Gamer subculture is the only real subculture you've listed.

Star Trek is enormous. If Trekkers organized against the government, we would win. Given, of course, we set our phasers to kill.
And if you call furries and ponies/bronies subcultures, then Trekkers qualify as a full blown culture.
