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.
