Subculture
Subculture
Young people have a
particular relationship with the world. There are many groupings (subcultures)
that have interests different from those of the mainstream culture. A
particular cultural grouping is a way for young people to express their
individuality (identity). By the mid-60s teenagers had begun to form distinct
cultural groupings. Most young people in Britain follow some kind of youth
culture: rocker, hacker, raver, skinhead, hippies, Goth, punk, baker…
Why do teens choose
a subculture?
A subculture is a
way of life. It isn’t a fan club, it’s a real life. It seems to them that the
parents are always saying: No! That everything about them: their hair, their
music, clothes, the way they talk, their dreams are considered bad by
grown-ups. The young people are unsure of where they are going. So it’s a way
of having something that they can say they belong to and that they are
“whatever”.
Often young people
do something not because they want to do it. They do things because everybody
around does or because they think it’s impolite to refuse.
The inspiration to
form a youth culture comes out of a combination of fashion, style and music. A
subculture is group with a distinct style and identity. Different subcultures
have their own beliefs, values, fashions…
Nevertheless,
members of different subcultures may have something similar in their image,
behavior, etc…
Some people think
that all subcultures are awful. And I think this opinion is absolutely right/is
all wrong.
